公职人员实施、唆使或纵容此类行为，并在发生此类行为时予以惩罚。此外，他回顾了他在国家情报局牢房和 Mpimba 中央监狱时遭受的拘留条件。申诉人再次提到委员会关于布隆迪初次报告的结论性意见，其中指出布隆迪的拘留条件构成不人道和有辱人格的待遇。10 最后，申诉人回顾说，尽管他病情危急，但他在拘留期间没有得到任何治疗，因此他认为，他的拘留条件违反了《公约》第 16条。
3.7 The complainant repeats that the violent acts inflicted on him constitute torture, in accordance with the definition in article 1 of the Convention. Should the Committee not agree to qualify it as such, he maintains that the abuse he endured constitutes cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment and that, on this basis, the State party also has an obligation, under article 16 of the Convention, to prevent public officials from committing, instigating or tolerating such acts and to punish them if they do. In addition, he recalls the conditions of detention that he had to endure in the National Intelligence Service cells and at Mpimba central prison. The complainant refers again to the Committee’s concluding observations on the initial report of Burundi, in which it noted that conditions of detention in Burundi amounted to inhuman and degrading treatment. 10 Lastly, the complainant recalls that he received no medical treatment while in detention, despite being in critical condition, and therefore concludes that the conditions of detention he experienced constitute a violation of article 16 of the Convention.
