Resolution on Burundi, the case of Bob Rugurika - Main contents

Burundian authorities arrested and detained in isolation the human rights defender Bob Rugurika, director of Radio publique africaine (RPA), on January 20, 2015, days after his radio station broadcast a series of investigative reports into the September 2014 murder of three elderly Italian nuns in the country.

Condemns the unjustified detention of Bob Rugurika and calls for his immediate release whilst authorities continue their investigations into the tragic killing of the three Italian nuns and bringing those responsible to justice; calls equally for the setting-up of an independent international inquiry on the murder of the three nuns.
