We have questions!
1. Why was she arrested?
2. Why is she detained at the National Intelligence Services? Is feminism a threat to national security?
3. What are her charges?
4. Why is she denied access to a legal counsel?
5. Why are Burundian authorities silent on her arrest?
3.20 pm in Bujumbura and Arielle is still detained at the National Intelligence HQs. Her family was able to see her briefly, but she has not had access to a lawyer. Charges remain unknown.
Keep lifting your voice for her immediate release! #FreeArielleSabushimike

People who live in glass houses really shouldn't throw stones! #Burundi

You obtained a visa courtesy of @US_Emb_Burundi. A visa is a privilege not a right. Please refrain from taunting #Burundi-an refugees in Maine/USA. https://t.co/0YQ2Ox1qs2
