Angry mob drag female police officer on the ground during protest

A Burundian policewoman was dragged on the ground by an angry mob who accused her of shooting at people taking part in a riot over the country's president's controversial bid for third term in office.Policeofficers had shot at 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.
