30 « Political Parties may hold meetings, organize demonstrations and engage in propaganda under the conditions set out by the law ». However the Mayor, the Administrator, the Provincial Governor and as a last resort, the Minister of the Interior can prohibit all meetings or demonstrations should these be of a nature to disturb public law and order. Article 12: The Right to the freedom of movement and of residence 1. Every individual shall have the right to freedom of movement and of residence within the borders of a State provided he abides by the law. 2.

The freedom of movement and of residence anywhere on the national territory is guaranteed by Article 33 of the 2005 Constitution which stipulates: « All Burundian citizens have the right to move around freely and to reside anywhere on the national territory and to leave it and return to it ». Considering that Burundi ratified the International Convention on Civil and Political Rights, Article 12 of this Convention compels the State of Burundi to guarantee this freedom to all its citizens, and also to the foreigners legally established on its territory. Nonetheless restrictions to this freedom to go and come can be imposed, restrictions relative to the protection of national security, public law and order, public decency or the rights and freedoms of others; in short, restrictions which are in conformity with the law. May we point out that to date, no complaint has ever been made regarding a violation of this freedom of movement by the State or by its Institutions be it from citizens or from foreigners.
