KIGALI (Reuters) - A Rwandan opposition official and eight others were charged on Wednesday with forming an armed group and seeking to overthrow the government - indictments that could see them jailed for life.
Boniface Twagirimana, the vice president of the FDU Inkingi movement, denied the charges in the Kigali court. The party's leader, Victoire Ingabire, is already in jail, convicted of conspiring to form an armed group and other charges in 2013.
