The reported executions sparked condemnation from the United States, the European Union, France and Germany, who have all called on the Malian government to allow for an independent investigation. Nineteen witnesses told the rights group that Malian and Russian-speaking soldiers arrived by helicopter and exchanged two rounds of gunfire with Islamist fighters, during which rebels, soldiers and a few civilians were killed.

The men were held for five days under the sun and arbitrarily selected for execution by gunfire during the night. Bodies were piled into three mass graves, HRW said.The operation allegedly involved over 100 Russian-speaking men, according to multiple security sources who spoke to HRW. Several witnesses also described white soldiers speaking an unfamiliar foreign language they believed to be Russian.
