Kigali: Appearing Wednesday in court, the eight opposition party members claimed they were tortured while in police custody as their trial on two counts including terrorism continued, RNA reports.
The eight, with co-accused PS Imberakuri party founder Bernard Ntaganda, told court they want bail due to scars they suffered in custody, and medical conditions which they want treated.
They are charged with taking part in an unlawful gathering on June 24. Prosecution also accuses them of belonging to a terrorist organisation set up by Ntaganda.
In the five-hour court session, they denied all the charges, and are instead seeking bail. Court is scheduled to decide on the bail application Wednesday afternoon.
