But what happened in Nyamabere is a despicable and barbaric act that must be discouraged, &#8220;says Nshimirimana<\/p>\n<p>This children\u2019s rights activist demands that Burundi justice try the perpetrator of this crime according to the law. He also calls on the whole population to contribute to the promotion of children\u2019s rights in Burundi. &#8220;If the rights of another person&#8217;s child are violated, even yours are not spared. We are all concerned,&#8221; says Nshimirimana<\/p>\n<p>He worries that torturing children is becoming a widespread phenomenon. He refers to the two other children aged 5 and 9 whose left wrists were amputated in November 2017 by two other teenagers.
