Burundi Jails Girls For Scribbling President’s Picture.
Updated March 21, 2019
Judges said the three girls should be “prosecuted for contempt of the head of state”, and ordered them to a juvenile section of a prison in the north of Burundi at Ngozi to await trial, said FENADEB, a civil society umbrella group of 48 organisations. A judicial source, who called the case “very sensitive” and said it was overseen directly by the Attorney General, reported that the girls arrived at the prison on Wednesday afternoon.
Burundi has been in turmoil since Nkurunziza in April 2015 sought a fiercely-contested third term in office.
