Description

HRW's statement on its investigation in Reçak: it refers to the killing of 45 Albanian civilians, at least 23 people summarily executed on the hill without resistance, and others killed inside the village, including nine KLA soldiers.

Limitations and reliability

The release's sub-counts do not clearly add up to 45; the sentence on those killed inside the village is ambiguous as to whether the nine KLA soldiers are included.
