Press Releases: U.S. Urges Burundi and Rwanda to Investigate Deaths 09/25/2014 10:14 AM EDT U.S. Urges Burundi and Rwanda to Investigate Deaths Press Statement Jen Psaki Department Spokesperson Washington, DC September 25, 2014 The United States expresses its deep concern regarding the discovery of a number of corpses in July and August of this year, some bound and wrapped in plastic, in Lake Rweru, which borders Burundi and Rwanda. We note that several countries also raised their concern about these deaths during the Interactive Dialogue with the Working Group on Enforced or Involuntary Disappearances that was held in conjunction with the United Nations Human Rights Council in Geneva on September 12. We urgently call on the Burundian and Rwandan Governments to conduct a prompt, thorough, and impartial and concerted investigation of these deaths with the assistance of independent, international forensic experts. We firmly believe that these victims deserve to be identified, their families deserve to know their fate, and those responsible should be brought to justice.
