The United Nations says it has evidence that Burundi\u2019s security forces gang-raped women while searching the homes of suspected opposition leaders.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Security forces separated the women and raped them, the UN said in a statement. It said it had documented 13 cases of sexual violence.<\/p>\n

Forces also kidnapped, tortured and killed dozens of young men, it said.<\/p>\n

Violence has escalated in Burundi since President Pierre Nkurunziza announced he would run for a third term.<\/p>\n

He survived a coup attempt in May, and secured a third term in disputed elections in July.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The abuses took place immediately after rebel attacks in December<\/a> against three military camps in the country\u2019s capital, Bujumbura, the UN\u2019s human rights chief, Zeid Ra\u2019ad al Hussein, said in a statement.<\/p>\n

The UN believes the army is taking revenge for the attacks.<\/p>\n

Mr Hussein also called for an investigation into reports that nine mass graves were found in and around Bujumbura, warning about the \u201cincreasing ethnic dimension of the crisis\u201d.<\/p>\n

Some witnesses say that violence from security forces was directed at the Tutsi minority.<\/p>\n

Burundi has been plagued by tension between Tutsis and Hutus since independence in 1962.<\/p>\n
