The report said that "tens of thousands of landmines planted by the militia claimed the lives of 714 civilians including 32 children and 14 women, and maimed 1132 civilians including 38 children and 17 women" in that period.

The HRITC also documented 197 abductions, 167 forcible disappearance, 792 arbitrary deteions, 87 torturers many of which led to death, permanent disabilities, loss of mind or severe traumas. A total of 2861 families were forced into displacement, according to the report.
