- Title
Opposition Leader Imprisoned.
- Abstract
The article reports on the arrest of Alexis Sinduhije, the leader of the Movement for Security and Democracy (MSD) in Burundi. It is alleged that he attempts to overthrow the government, holds illegal MSD meetings and sends Tutsi youth to join rebels in eastern Democratic Republic of Congo. Around 150 supporters have gathered to protest against his arrest. Lawyer Prosper Niyoyankana says that Sinduhije is accused of contempt for the head of state on the basis of illegally seized documents.
