Their arrest birthed the online movement #FreeOurGirls.

They faced persecution for defacing an image of Burundi President Pierre Nkurunziza in their workbooks. According to CNN, the three girls arrested for their actions have all been released.

Human Rights Watch reports seven children were apprehended initially earlier this month for drawing on the photos of the longtime head of state. Their imprisonment birthed the online hashtag #FreeOurGirls, with many joining the young women in solidarity.
