A/HRC/34/54/Add.3 border, and the systematic detention of asylum seekers and migrants, including children, in overcrowded and unsanitary conditions. 60. The Special Rapporteur thanks the Government of Bulgaria for its reply, dated 14 April 2016, to the present communication, available via the link above. 61. The Special Rapporteur welcomes information that internal checks performed by the Ministry of Interior directorate responsible for territory serviced by the Border Police resulted in a finding of two cases of misconduct by officers, and that relevant disciplinary sanctions have been imposed. The Special Rapporteur takes note of the information that an investigation and pre-trial proceedings have been initiated into the death of an Afghan citizen following the “surpassing [of] the limits of self-defence by an officer of the Border Police,” and expects to be kept fully informed of the outcome of the investigation and proceedings. 62. The Special Rapporteur however finds that the Government, in its reply, does not sufficiently address the allegations of the use of physical violence against, and forcible blocking of entry, of at least 59 asylum seekers between March and November 2015, and the systematic detention of migrants for prolonged periods of up to 18 months, in conditions that amount to ill-treatment. 63. In the absence of information to the contrary, the Special Rapporteur concludes that there is substance in the allegations presented in the initial communication, available via the link above, and that the Government of Bulgaria, by failing to protect the physical and psychological integrity of migrants at its borders and in immigration detention facilities, including by failing to prevent ill-treatment in the form of physical violence and inhumane conditions of detention, has violated their rights to be free from cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment, as provided by articles 2 and 16 of the Convention against Torture. Burundi UA 11/02/2016 Case No. BDI 1/2016 State Reply: None to date Allégations de torture, de mauvais traitement, détention arbitraire, et l’isolement cellulaire pendant 9 mois de M. Cyrille Ndayirukiye de la part de représentants de l’Etat. 64. Le Rapporteur spécial regrette que le gouvernement de Burundi n’ait pas répondu à la présente communication, échouant ainsi à coopérer avec le mandat émis par le Conseil des droits de l'homme dans sa résolution 25/13. 65. En l’absence d’information prouvant le contraire, le Rapporteur conclut qu’il y a de la substance quant aux allégations présentées dans la communication initiale, réitérées ci-dessus, et donc, que le gouvernement de Burundi par la détention arbitraire de M. Ndayirukiye, en le torturant, en le prolongeant son isolement cellulaire, en le détenant dans des mauvaise conditions (conditions précaires et dangereuses, mauvaise conditions d’hygiène, visites interdites) et en congédiant les avocats de M. Ndayirukiye a violé le droit de M. Ndayirukiye de ne pas être soumis à la torture et autres peines ou traitements cruels, inhumains ou dégradants, comme prévu dans les articles 1, 2, 11 et 16 de la Convention Contre la Torture, les articles 9 et 14 de la Pacte international relatif aux droits civils et politiques, et les articles 5, 6 et 7 de la Commission Africaine des Droits de l’Homme et des Peuples et Principe 6 des Principes de base relatifs au rôle de barreau. 16
