A senior police officer has allegedly made three threatening phone calls to human rights defender Stany Mbazumutima, after he wrote about Rwandan military spies operating in a refugee camp for people who have fled Rwanda in the north of the country. Amnesty International believes he is in danger. Stany Mbazumutima is a human rights monitor for the Burundian human rights organisation Ligue ITEKA, investigating and reporting human rights violations in Ngozi province.
