Unreported World: Burundi: Boys Behind Bars

Series 2, episode 0

Reporter Ramita Navai and director Wael Dabbous travel to Burundi to expose the plight of hundreds of children locked up for years without trial in adult prisons, among some of the most dangerous criminals in the country. And they meet one man who has dedicated his life to freeing them; for many of these children, Pierre-Claver Mbonimpa is the only hope they have. Burundi has no juvenile justice system and children above the age of 15 are tried as adults.
