BBC News Channel - Our World, Burundi's Torture Houses

An investigation into Burundi government-sponsored torture and killings.

News on issues around the world. An investigation uncovers evidence of Burundi government-sponsored torture and killings designed to silence dissent.

In 2015 there was widespread unrest in the East African country of Burundi when the country's president ran for a third term. Protestors said he was violating the constitution that limits presidential terms to just two. Since then street protests have ended, but a BBC investigation has now uncovered evidence of government-sponsored torture and killings designed to silence dissent.

This programme contains images and descriptions from the start which some people may find disturbing.
