Violations of the Rights of Children in Detention in Burundi
This 62-page report documents the many types of human rights violations that children experience in pre-trial detention, in the investigation and prosecution of cases, and while in prison. Based on interviews with more than 100 children as well as with prosecutors and prison staff, the report details cases of physical and sexual abuse of children by other inmates, shortages of food, poor sanitary conditions, and a total lack of any organized education inside the prisons. Human Rights Watch researchers conducted onsite visits to 10 of Burundi's 11 prisons.
