Burundi orders new rights body to ‘fight’ UN envoy
The Star
|May 07, 2025

-
International rights groups have long accused Burundi's government of suppressing civil society, political opposition and the media.
The country's own National Independent Human Rights Commission was considered close to the government, but it released a report in January detailing hundreds of violations.
That led its president Sixte Vigny Nimuraba to flee into exile after he was criticised by the head of the National Assembly and then accused of corruption.
