NAIROBI (Reuters) - Burundi has released three schoolgirls whose detention over accusations of scribbling on President Pierre Nkurunziza's picture in textbooks had led to an international outcry.
The three girls were the last still being held from a group of seven children arrested earlier this month in Kirundo province, in Burundi's northeast some 200 kilometres from the commercial capital Bujumbura. All were accused of insulting Nkurunziza by defacing his image.
