UN compiles list of prosecutable suspects for crimes against humanity in Burundi

Independent United Nations investigators said they have compiled a list of suspects who should be prosecuted for possible crimes against humanity in Burundi.
Speaking on Tuesday, Independent UN investigators said that it was impossible to know the full extent of the crimes, but they had evidence of rapes, murders, disappearances, mass arrests and torture.
Burundi has plunged into violence, after the incumbent President Pierre Nkurunzizza said he would seek a third term. The nation has seen protests leading to deadly clashes with police and the government security sector since April 2015, reports Reuters.
