According to witnesses, the two detainees were at a registration center in the town center of the district of Rango at the time of their arrest. They were arrested by police officers assigned to this center. They suspected them of having used a single identity card to register twice each. The concerned persons are from the districts of Rango and Gatara. They are prosecuted for “forgery and use of forgery”, according to the prosecutor of Kayanza who claims that they should be tried in flagrante delicto.
Claude Minani, president of the Electoral Commission in the new province of Butanyerera, said that “the two suspects have transgressed the electoral code”.
The two CNL activists reject all these accusations, citing a set-up fabrication orchestrated by members of the youth league of the ruling CNDD-FDD party, Imbonerakure.
“We are victims of our membership in the CNL”, they said.
