Burundi 10/08/06 JUA WGAD; TOR; Déo Niyonzima, Secrétaire-général du Parti pour la Réconciliation des Peuples (PRP), et Damien Ndarisigaranye, conseiller auprès du Ministre de la Défense.

Durant son interrogatoire, il aurait été frappé avec un fil barbelé et on l’aurait laissé tomber sur le sol alors qu’il se trouvait en hauteur. M. Niyonzima se serait plaint auprès de sa femme des traitements qui lui auraient été infligés. Ces mauvais Government Response public hearing. They have not appealed against the court judgement, although provided for by the law. They are currently serving their sentences in Thimphu District Jail. They are allowed to receive visitors in accordance with the prison rules and are not being detained incommunicado as alleged. They have been receiving visits from their family and friends on a daily basis, as was the case throughout their trial. As per normal practice, medical attention is provided to all detainees if required or upon request by the individual concerned. With regard to the allegations against officers of the Royal Bhutan Police, these are factually incorrect as the alleged person was not present during the arrest. It is also untrue that Mr Dhungana and Mr Tamang have been subjected to torture and ill treatment in detention. Torture is prohibited under the law.
