May 05, 2015
Police in Burundi shot dead at least four demonstrators and wounded dozens of others today, in running battles with protesters angry at a bid by President Pierre Nkurunziza to extend his rule.
The deaths, which leading human rights activist Pierre-Claver Mbonimpa confirmed, brought the death toll in more than a week of protests to at least 13, including two soldiers and a policeman.
