Rape
Rape, including spousal rape, is illegal. The official number of rape cases is increasing, although it is unclear whether this is due primarily to increased reporting of attacks. Interior Ministry statistics indicated that during 2007 there were 259 registered cases of rape, 235 of which resulted in convictions. NGOs have estimated that the actual number of cases could be up to 10 times the reported figure. Bribery is used commonly to curtail investigations regarding rape.
