Burundi: Further information on Fear of Torture/incommunicado detention

At least 11 people, including Daniel Nsanzurwimo; Bernard Barayegeranije; Barnabé Barayegeranije; Simon Nani; Berchmans; Tite Mpawnimana; Ndagi; Rémy Ntuyahaga; “Mama Sonia”; and “Mama Richard” Niyikundana are now reported to have been detained. They are now reportedly held incommunicado at the Brigade spéciale de Recherche, (BSR), with the exception of Madame Sonia, who is held at the headquarters of the Police Spéciale de Roulage (PSR), Bujumbura. Torture is routine in both places, and Amnesty International remains concerned for their safety.
