On release, individual entities and different people on social media welcomed the high court’s decision including the European Union. <\/p>\n

Their release was somewhat given a different interpretation especially by those who relate their imprisonment to political reasons. <\/p>\n

In a statement by the European Union President Jean-Claude Juncker in Brussels said that Rwanda’s decision can only be commended. <\/p>\n

“I warmly welcome the release on bail of human rights defender Diane Rwigara and her mother Adeline Rwigara by the High Court. It is a positive development that is part of a larger process that can only be commended,” the statement reads. <\/p>\n

It also says that the European Union will continue to support Rwanda in its efforts to promote fundamental freedoms. <\/p>\n

On Twitter, the State Minister for Constitutional and Legal Affairs, Evode Uwizeyimana said that nothing so unusual happened in Rwanda’s justice that it deserved praise. <\/p>\n

\u201cThe decision is part of the usual work of any criminal justice system Mr.! Rwanda does not need to be congratulated for having released people accused of crimes on bail. This is a sovereignty function. Nothing special!.\u201d he tweeted. <\/p>\n

Diane Rwigara is accused of faking the registration papers for the election and inciting public insurrection.<\/p>\n

Her mother, Adeline Rwigara is also facing charges of inciting insurrection and promoting sectarianism.<\/p>\n
