Burkina rights group alleges junta targeting critics

Ouagadougou, Burkina Faso – A human rights group in Burkina Faso denounced on Sunday the “massive and targeted requisition of citizens” critical of the ruling junta’s anti-jihadist fight since a “general mobilisation” decree increased the state’s powers.

The Burkinabe Movement for the Rights of Man and the People said it learned “with indignation” that the ruling Patriotic Movement for Preservation and Restoration is “carrying out a massive and targeted requisition of citizens, by applying the general mobilisation decree”. Some 15 trade unions had called for a rally at the end of October to denounce the “restrictions on freedoms”, but the protest was banned by the Ouagadougou mayor’s office due to the “security context”.
