I\u2019ve just had a message from my friend in Sweden, Lotta<\/a>, who read in the Swedish newspapers yesterday of the shooting of some unarmed Scouts. Three were wounded and one later died. Here is what she posted –<\/p>\n

\n

Swedish newspapers reported yesterday about a governmental official in the Kayogoro district of Burundu having been arrested for his involvement in the shooting of 3 young boys, one of which later died in hospital, who were at camp, preparing to give their scout oath.
\nThe boys had been forced to lay down on the ground before the police opened fire on them. The police at first claimed that the scouts had opened fire on the police, and that they had shot the boys in self defence. This was later taken back, and five police men have been arrested and admitted having been involved in the incident. One is still in hiding.<\/p>\n

BBC seem to mention the incident at http:\/\/www.bbc.co.uk\/greatlakes\/news\/story\/2009\/05\/090525_bdiscoutpoliceapology.shtml<\/a> but I can’t find any English source of confirmation. Can the international friends of scouting do anything to support the group?<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

As far as I can tell there is only one story in English on the web and <\/span>that\u2019s here<\/span><\/del>. Hopefully something else will come out soon.<\/span><\/p>\n

If anyone does find anything else please let me know.<\/span><\/p>\n
