Description


According to Amnesty International: "During the protests, the gendarmerie (military police), the national army including the Presidential Security Regiment (Régiment de Sécurité Présidentielle, RSP), and the police were deployed. [...] Tibo Kabré, a 46 year-old motorbike washer and father of three children working in Patte d’Oie, not far from the Presidential palace, was also shot dead on his way to Kosyam Palace. He was shot near the Nigerian Embassy in the area of the Ouagadougou known as “Ouaga 2000” whilst peacefully protesting. Witnesses told Amnesty International that Tibo Kabré and other demonstrators posed no threat to the soldiers when they opened fire. There was no warning. [...] Tibo Kabré’s family told Amnesty International that he died on 30 October and that, according to doctors, there were three bullets in his chest and stomach. [...] In the context of the protests that took place in Burkina Faso between 30 October and 2 November 2014, security forces violated the right to life, the right to freedom from torture, cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and punishment, the right to peaceful assembly, and the right to freedom of expression, among other human rights. The testimonies and evidence gathered by Amnesty International indicate that security forces arbitrarily used lethal force on peaceful protestors, resulting in at least ten deaths and hundreds of injuries."
