British woman faces treason-related charges in Rwanda
Rwandan police officers from the United Nations
Nairobi , Kenya - Arab Today
A pregnant British mother of two has appeared in a Rwandan court for the first time since being arrested over a month ago on treason-related charges.
Judicial spokesman Emmanuel Itamwa told The Associated Press on Thursday that the specific charges against Violette Uwamahoro will be made public after police investigations are complete.
Rights group Amnesty International says authorities are investigating the Rwandan-born Uwamohoro for revelation of state secrets, formation of an irregular armed group and offenses against the established government or president.
Uwamahoro denies all charges. She attended a bail hearing Thursday and returns to court Monday.
Amnesty International says Uwamahoro was held for more than two weeks without access to lawyers or her family in violation of Rwandan and international law. Her Rwandan-born husband is a political activist.

To 'eternal style' of late Alaia
Paris - Muslimchronicle
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opened Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
