Twitter users have rallied to the cause of three schoolgirls arrested for defacing photos of Burundian President Pierre Nkurunziza by following their example.

Crudely doctored images of the leader are being circulated online under the hashtag, #FreeOurGirls.

The girls were charged last week with insulting the head of state and could spend up to five years in prison.

Burundian authorities are routinely accused of cracking down on human rights and dissent.

This is insane. No names, no parent's names. No sources that aren't anonymous.
 
Wow.

We all complain a lot about our tyranny, then you hear stories or real tyranny. :eusa_snooty:
