President Pierre Nkurunziza announced he was running for a third term, some of the people who kicked against his candidacy were shot in the street. Now, the regime's insides have told the BBC that repression has gone underground. They agreed to kill perceived opponents themselves and said that some places across the country served as secret detention sites and torture.

Former intelligence agents in Burundi have provided a detailed BBC account for an organized program to eliminate the critical voices of the third term of office of the acting President.

Burundi's human rights organizations say hundreds of cases of deaths, torture and disappearances are reported every year. The government has always denied human rights violations and refused to comment on this report.
