Eight men have reportedly been badly beaten and ill-treated in military custody following their arrest on 15 September. They are currently detained in Muzinda military barracks (camp militaire) in the capital, Bujumbura. Amnesty International is concerned that they may be at risk of torture or further ill-treatment, or even "disappearance".
