Burundi's Torture Houses (2018x335)

Air date: Dec 07, 2018

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.
