Dr Christophe Sahabo, a Burundian doctor, was arrested on 1 April 2022 over a dispute regarding the management of Kira hospital and has remained in detention ever since. On 10 September, he vomited and collapsed during a trial hearing. He was admitted to hospital, but transferred back to Ruyigi Prison on 12 September, while still undergoing treatment. His medical condition is serious and potentially life-threatening if he does not receive urgent medical attention. Family members were refused access to visit him in prison on 14 September and were not allowed to bring him medicines. The authorities must immediately allow him unfettered access to all necessary medical care.
