Burundi ban three UN investigators from entering country.

The Foreign Affairs Minister ALAIN AIME NYAMITWE said PABLO

DE GREIFF of Colombia, CHRISTOF HEYNS of South Africa, and

MAYA SAHLI-FADEL of Algeria were no longer welcome in

Burundi.

The banned investigators had accused the government of gross

human rights violations.

The investigators alleged in a report last month that thousands of

people had been tortured, sexual abused or forced to disappear

during political violence.

They also warned of the danger of genocide from the escalating

violence.

Meanwhile; Burundi has announced plans to withdraw from the

International Criminal Court.
