A High Court in Rwanda on Thursday acquitted government critic Diane Rwigara and her mother Adeline Rwigara of charges of inciting insurrection and forgery.

"We find that the prosecution charges do not have a basis and find Diane Rwigara and Adeline Rwigara not guilty on all charges," read a three-judge verdict.
