2.9 申诉人回顾说，根据《公约》第 22 条第 5 款(b)项，如果国内补救办法无效，则不要求一个人用尽国内补救办法，为了受理之目的，委员会只要求用尽切实、有效和可用的补救办法。3 他声称，尽管他向共和国总检察长提出了关于遭受虐待的申诉，但司法当局没有作出回应，而按照《刑事诉讼法》第 64 条，他们本应根据他的陈述启动刑事调查。其他与监察员和布隆迪国家人权问题独立委员会进行的接触也没有任何结果。2015 年 3 月 30 日和 2015 年 12 月 15 日向路易·鲁瓦加索尔王子医院负责人发出了两封信函，分别要求提供他的住院证明和医疗记录，但均未得到答复。申诉人的两名律师受到恐吓和威胁，随后流亡国外，这有力地证明申诉人无法向独立公正的当局提起案件，而且实际上不可能在国内法院胜诉。。
2.9 The complainant recalls that, under article 22 (5) (b) of the Convention, a person is not required to exhaust domestic remedies that are unlikely to bring effective relief and that, for the purposes of admissibility, the Committee requires that only effective and available remedies be exhausted.3 He claims that, even though he had filed a complaint with the State Prosecutor regarding his ill-treatment, the judicial authorities made no response, whereas, under article 64 of the Code of Criminal Procedure, they should have initiated a criminal investigation on the basis of his statement. Other steps taken with the Ombudsman and the Independent National Human Rights Commission did not yield any results. Letters to the management of Prince Louis Rwagasore clinic dated 30 March 2015, to obtain a certificate attesting to his hospitalization, and 15 December 2015, to seek information from his medical records, have gone unanswered. The acts of intimidation and threats against two of the complainant’s lawyers, and their subsequent flight from the country, are telling proof that there is no independent and impartial authority to which the complainant could bring his case and that he stood no chance of gaining satisfaction before the domestic courts.
