We previously issued an alert concerning NIYONKURU Elvis, who reportedly works with the intelligence services as an informant. We subsequently received information confirming that he is being detained in a cell at the Bujumbura Provincial Police Commissariat, formerly known as BSR.
He continues to be accused of collaborating with RED TABARA fighters. According to the information reaching us, NIYONKURU Elvis continues to deny these allegations.
We call on the relevant authorities to guarantee his physical integrity, ensure that his rights are respected, and shed full light on his situation, so that he is neither mistreated nor subjected to enforced disappearance, and that his case is handled in strict accordance with the law.
