The disclosure was made in a statement released on Monday, June 30.
“Following an investigation by the Rwanda Investigation Bureau, which was submitted to the National Public Prosecution Authority [NPPA] on 24 June 2025, the NPPA has filed a case with the Primary Court of Kicukiro, requesting pre-trial detention for Ingabire Umuhoza Victoire,” the statement read.
Ingabire, founder of the unregistered political party DALFA-Umurinzi, was arrested on June 19, 2025, following a decision by the High Court of Kigali.
The court made the decision after establishing that there were strong reasons to suspect Ingabire’s involvement in a conspiracy with nine individuals, including journalist Theoneste Nsengimana, accused of participating in training sessions allegedly aimed at overthrowing the government.
Ingabire admitted that eight of the nine individuals, excluding journalist Nsengimana, were former members of DALFA-Umurinzi, but insisted that the party was not behind the organization of the training sessions, and that she personally had no knowledge of them.
According to the Prosecution Authority, the charges against Ingabire involve offenses that threaten public security.
