Tips

usage
控诉 is stronger and more emotional than 指控 (zhǐkòng, to charge/accuse). 控诉 often implies passionate denunciation, while 指控 is more neutral and legal.
grammar
控诉 can be used as both a verb (控诉某人, to accuse someone) and a noun (发出控诉, to issue an accusation). It often takes 对 (duì) to mark the target.
