The court...acquitted three expatriate Anvil Mining employees of complicity in war crimes...RAID's key objective throughout has been to try and ensure that a thorough and fair investigation was conducted into the circumstances of the provision of "logistical assistance" by Anvil to the Congolese military in connection with the Kilwa incident, and why Anvil was largely silent about the Kilwa incident...until the Four Corners documentary. As far as RAID is concerned, due to the manner in which the trial was conducted, the verdict of the court has not advanced these issues. If, as a result of a fair and thorough investigation into these issues, it was concluded that Anvil should be absolved of any blame, RAID would certainly make this clear.
