BUJUMBURA, Sept. 15 (Xinhua) -- Burundi is investigating an alleged attack on Wednesday at the Office of the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) in the capital city of Bujumbura, the justice ministry said Thursday.
"Early on Wednesday around 2 a.m., six unidentified persons intruded the compound hosting OHCHR Burundian office. One of them reportedly had a gun," said Agnes Bangiricenge, spokesperson of Burundian Attorney General in a statement.
According to her, those unidentified attackers "immobilized" guards at that office before entering the office.
The attorney general requested people who may have information about the attack to provide it to investigators.
She said even though the unidentified managed to enter the compound, they did not either steal anything or hurt anyone.
The Burundian government said last October that it has decided to suspend cooperation and collaboration with OHCHR in Burundi for OHCHR's role during the preparation of a biased and controversial report written by three UN experts on violations of human rights in Burundi.
