On Human Rights Day: A Joint Appeal to Protect Burundians at Home and in Exile
On International Human Rights Day, SOS-Torture Burundi and the Raoul Wallenberg Centre warn of a severe and persistent human rights deterioration in Burundi in 2025. They denounce arbitrary arrests, torture, enforced disappearances, repression linked to the elections, and inhumane prison conditions. They also highlight the alarming situation of over 110,000 Burundian refugees in Tanzania facing discrimination, pressure, and risks of forced repatriation. The organizations urgently call on Burundi, Tanzania, UNHCR, and the international community to act. They reaffirm their commitment to pursuing truth, justice, and protection for all affected populations.
