Burundi ordered the new rights body ‘Fight’ exclusive messenger

NAIROBI: Burundi’s Parliament appointed a new Human Rights Commission late on Monday night when his back head fled to exile and said that his mission was to “fight” the Envoy of the United Nations rights.
International rights groups have long accused the government of Burundi of civil society, political opposition and suppressing the media.
Its National Independent Human Rights Commission of the country was considered close to the government, but it released a report in January that gave details of hundreds of violations.
The head of the National Assembly was criticized and then encouraged his President Solt Vigne Nimrabab to escape in exile after an accused of corruption.
After a long debate on Sunday, the National Assembly approved a completely new board of seven members for the Commission, headed by Bishop, Martin Blaise Nyabho, who has strongly spoken against the opposition in the past.
National Assembly President Gelsi Daniel Nadbirbe used the opportunity to criticize Fortune Gateon Zongo to the United Nations special synergy on human rights in Burundi.
The Zongo report from August from August “widely enjoyed by criminals of human rights violations … deteriorating safety conditions … and the applicable disappearance and increase in cases of arbitrary arrests”.
In a message to the new National Rights Commission shared on social media, the Chairman of the National Assembly said: “Your mission will be to fight and bring down the Fortune Gateon Zongo … and ended these unjust allegations of human rights violations.”
Nimuraba, the head of the previous commission, ran into Europe last month according to a diplomatic source and local media, after his home was discovered by the National Intelligence Service and the police.
Another exiled rights activist Pacific Ninnashave told the AFP that it was illegal to Parliament under the Burundian Act to replace the Rights Commissioners through their mandate.
He said that the new commissioners were close to all the ruling party and they had very little experience in human rights work. “They are the worst team ever,” he said.
Two members of the Burundi’s Truth and Reconciliation Commission established to see the historical ethnic violence also fled to exile this year. According to internal sources and local presses, Pastor Clement Noy Ninziza and Eleys Batungvanayo fled from the country in February after accusing them of sharing “intelligence with the enemy”.
