Enforcers of the repressive regime abducted Alain Rwage from his home in Burundi one night in 2011. Alain worked as a hotel manager and was in college studying communications. He also was helping organize young people to push for democracy in the African nation riven by violent political and tribal conflict. He had endured persecution, prison and torture for his efforts.
