3 Burundi schoolgirls who were detained over accusation of scribbling on President Pierre Nkurunziza’s picture in textbooks which led to international outcry, has been released. The three girls were the last still being held from a group of seven children arrested earlier February in Kirundo province, in Burundi’s northeast some 200 kilometers from the commercial capital Bujumbura. All were accused of insulting Nkurunziza by defacing his image.A regional court in Kirundo had decided last Wednesday to proceed with a full trial against the three. But Aimée Kanyana, the Minister for Justice, told state broadcaster RTNB that the girls had been given provisional release. Future cases would result in prosecutions, she said. She added: “We call on parents to strengthen the education of their children. The arrest of the schoolgirls resulted in an online campaign, with users using the social media hashtag #freeourgirls to post pictures of the President defaced with clown wigs, twirly mustaches, pointy ears and bloody fangs. “With so many real crimes being committed in Burundi, it’s tragic that children are the ones being prosecuted for harmless scribbles,” Human Rights Watch Central Africa Director, Lewis Mudge, wrote. “Members of the ruling party’s youth wing “have killed, arbitrarily arrested, abducted, beaten, raped, and intimidated real and perceived political opponents with impunity,” Mudge wrote last week. “Authorities should focus on holding perpetrators of serious rights violations to account instead of jailing school children for doodles.” https://lailasnews.com/burundi-schoolgirls-detained-for-defacing-presidents-photo-released/ 1 Like

gocac: How do you know a Coup in Nigeria is viable? What do you know about coups? Do you have any information you're harbouring? Who are those involved? How did you know? Why did you refuse to report? Be very careful of what you say online. You think it's ordinary talk but by the time ONSA, DMI or SSS picks you up for 'more information' , you'll know. 14 Likes |

Some people are just too petty. A grown arse Presidiot taking offense to what a school girl does to a text book she bought with her own money. What exactly is his picture doing in an academic textbook in the first place, is the school curriculum revolving around his personalty as against meaningful science based knowledge that can develop Africa. . 4 Likes |
