The conversation which took place in a cordial atmosphere reviewed the characterizations of Ingabire’s conviction as “political”, and references to others as “political prisoners”, according to a statement released by RIB.
“Ingabire applied for and received a conditional commutation of the remainder of her sentence, but her conviction by the Supreme Court still stands,” reads the statement.
Ms Ingabire replied that she was acting based on poor advice and ignorance of the law, and committed to abide by the law going forward, and to clarify her position on these matters.
“Failure to do so would trigger appropriate legal action,” reads the statement.
Ingabire also disclosed that she does not have control of all of the social media accounts operating in her name. She re-iterated her readiness to contribute to the peaceful development of the country. She stated that arrangements are being made for her children to come visit her through the “Come and See, Go and Tell” program.
