This is the
moment a Burundian policewoman was stoned by a rampaging mob who
accused her of shooting at people taking part in a riot over the
president's controversial bid for third term in office.
Officers
opened fire on demonstrators amid furious clashes on the streets of
the capital Bujumbura, as Pierre Nkurunziza defied international
pressure to cease his latest campaign for president.
Shortly
after the shots were fired, the policewoman was punched, kicked and
dragged along the streets of the capital Bujumbura by a furious mob who
managed to separate her from her colleagues.
Harrowing
images show the woman attempting to flee for her life while knife and
stone-wielding men fight among themselves to reach her.
Eventually
the female officer's colleagues managed to get between her and her
attackers, enabling her to flee to safety with only minor injuries.
