A Rwandan court has ordered the release of a pregnant woman from the United Kingdom who was accused of involvement in a plot against Rwanda’s government.
Violette Uwamahoro appeared last week in court in Rwanda’s capital Kigali, charged with spreading state secrets.
A judge said there was no evidence to back up the charges and she should be freed on bail.
Mrs Uwamahoro, from Leeds, was arrested in February after going to Rwanda for a family funeral.
