19 It is to be pointed out that the war experienced by this country since October 1993, up to the cessation of hostilities in 2005 gave rise to considerable loss of human life. To date the country continues to experience selective killings linked in particular to land related conflicts and to the settling of scores and to cases of crime. The programme of disarmament of the civilian population which continues to hold arms is showing positive results and this will enable the country to recover its security for good. Article 6: The Right to Liberty and Security of one’s person « Every individual shall have the right to liberty and to the security of his person. No one may be deprived of his freedom except for reasons and in conditions previously laid down by law; in particular no one may be arbitrarily arrested or detained ». This right is recognized in Burundi in the country’s Constitution and the operative Penal Code. The 18 March 2005 Burundi Constitution in its Article 22, stipulates that: « All citizens are equal before the law, which guarantees them equal protection. No one shall be subjected to discrimination for reasons of his origin, his race, his ethnic group, his gender, his colour, his language, his social status, his religious, philosophical or political convictions or because he is affected by HIV/AIDS or any other incurable disease ». Decree-Law N° 1/05 of 22 April 2009 on the review of the Penal Code in its Article 477 stipulates that: « Shall be sentenced to imprisonment of two to five years with a fine of ten to a hundred thousand francs or either of the two, anyone who, either through an anonymous or signed document, has made threats, on orders or conditionally, against individuals or property shall be punishable by at least five years in jail. The verbal threat made on instructions or conditionally, or the threat made by gesture or as a symbol against individuals or property shall be punishable by at least five years of imprisonment, or three months to two years with a fine of ten to fifty thousand francs or either of the two ». Every individual has the right to liberty and security of his person. No one may be arbitrarily arrested or detained. No one may be deprived of his freedom except for reasons and in conditions previously laid down by law. Every individual shall be informed, at the time of his arrest, of the reasons for this arrest and shall receive notification, in the shortest possible time of any charge made against him.
