Weeky Report N° 561
This report by SOS-Torture Burundi covers the period from 5 to 13 September 2026. It documents cases of human rights violations committed on Burundian territory.
During this period, three (3) people were arbitrarily arrested, in circumstances similar to abductions in Bujumbura province.
The upsurge and recurrence of crime in Burundi continues to raise concerns about respect for human rights and the protection of the population. Arbitrary arrests and detentions attributed to agents of the National Intelligence Service (SNR) raise serious concerns about the respect of the right to life of victims and the safety of victims. Cases of enforced disappearances or extrajudicial executions continue to be documented by human rights organizations.
These new cases are in addition to those documented in the previous report, which reported the killing of two (2) people and the serious injury of one (1) person in Gitega province.
