The duo is being accused of forgery of public documents and inciting insurrection, for Diane, while her mother, Adeline Rwigara is facing charges of inciting insurrection and promoting sectarianism. They had applied for bail. In court, they were accompanied by their lawyers ready to hear the decision on their application.
However, on the panel of judges that were to hear their bail application, there was one whom they did not approve of because he had previously ruled on their bail.
The court explained that Diane Rwigara and her mother’s letter of bail application arrived to the court late on Friday in non-working hours, so, the court had no time to research on the members of the panel on Monday.
The panel immediately called off the proceedings to examine the rejection and make a decision. A new date for hearing the bail application will be announced.
