Des manifestants, des opposants (ou présumés tels), des activistes de la société civile et des journalistes ainsi que leurs proches, et des ressortissants rwandais ont aussi été l’objet de graves abus. Le HCDH signale que depuis début août 2015, des membres et représentants du parti au pouvoir sont de plus en plus la cible de violences.

HRW and AI note that the number of victims is difficult to establish, as a number of incidents are not reported. In March 2016, the OHCHR has counted 474 civilian dead since April 2015. ACLED counted 1,274 victims of the violence, more than 50% in Bujumbura. This figure takes into account civilians as well as members of armed groups and the police. Additionally, the FIDH counted nearly 800 cases of forced disappearance. Several sources report that residents of anti-government neighbourhoods, especially young men, are specifically targeted even when they are not politically active. Demonstrators, (presumed) opponents of the regime, civil society activists and journalists, as well as their close relatives and Rwandan nationals have also suffered serious violence. The OHCHR notes that since early August 2015, more and more members and representatives of the ruling party are also being targeted by the violence.
