In February 2012, he was detained for two weeks on charges of making "false declarations", leading Amnesty International to designate him a prisoner of conscience.[1] In early 2012, Ndikumana wrote to the Burundian Justice Minister, Pascal Barandagiye, stating that PARCEM had been told by new judges that they had been asked to pay US$1,000 to $1,500 in exchange for their appointments.[2] On 3 February, Ndikumana held a press conference to make the allegations public.[1] Ndikumana was arrested by agents of the Anti-Corruption Brigade on 7 February while giving an interview to Radio Publique Africaine.[3] He was then taken before a magistrate of the Anti-Corruption Court, apparently on the basis of a complaint by the Justice Minister. The court charged him under Article 14 of the Anti-Corruption Law with making "false declarations",[1] which carries a maximum sentence of ten years' imprisonment and a fine of 1 million Burundian francs (US$716).[6] Ndikumana was then transferred to Mpimba Central Prison in Bujumbura.[2] Ndikumana's detention immediately drew domestic and international criticism. Front Line Defenders expressed concern, stating that Ndikumana's arrest appeared to be "motivated by his work against corruption in the judicial system and its impact on access to equitable justice for all citizens".[3] Amnesty International designated him a prisoner of conscience, "detained solely for exercising his right to freedom of expression", and called for his immediate arrest. The organization also noted its concern that the arrest might have a "chilling effect" on other activists and journalists.[1] Ten Burundian civil society groups rallied in Bujumbura on 14 February to call for Ndikumana's release, with Gabriel Rufyiri of the Anti-corruption and Economic Malpractice Observatory urging the government to free Ndikumana and become "more transparent in recruitment".[4] On 17 February, a court rejected Ndikumana's bail plea, ruling that he must remain in prison; however, the court reversed its decision four days later, and he was released on bail on 21 February. Agence France-Presse attributed the about-face to diplomatic pressure on Ndikumana's behalf, particularly from the European Union.[5] As part of Ndikumana's bail terms, he cannot leave the Bujumbura area or travel to the airport, and he must report to the court each Thursday.[5] References1. ^1 2 3 {{cite web |url=https://www.amnesty.org/en/documents/afr16/001/2012/en/ |title=Burundi: Free Activist Who Spoke Out |date=9 February 2012 |publisher=Amnesty International |accessdate=16 March 2012}} {{DEFAULTSORT:Ndikumana, Faustin}}2. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://af.reuters.com/article/topNews/idAFJOE81708X20120208 |title=Burundi arrests prominent corruption activist |date=8 February 2012 |agency=Reuters Africa |accessdate=16 May 2012}} 3. ^1 {{cite web |url=http://www.frontlinedefenders.org/node/17330 |title=Burundi: Arrest of human rights defender Mr Faustin Ndikumana |date=9 February 2012 |publisher=Front Line Defenders |accessdate=16 May 2012}} 4. ^1 {{cite web |url=https://www.bloomberg.com/news/2012-02-14/burundi-civil-society-groups-urge-release-of-anti-graft-activist.html |title=Burundi Civil Society Groups Urge Release of Anti-Graft Activist |author=Desire Nimubona |date=14 February 2012 |publisher=Bloomberg |accessdate=16 May 2012}} 5. ^1 {{cite news |url=http://www.news24.com/Africa/News/Burundi-anti-graft-activist-freed-20120221 |title=Burundi anti-graft activist freed |date=21 February 2012 |agency=Agence France-Presse |publisher=News24 |accessdate=16 May 2012}} 6 : Living people|Amnesty International prisoners of conscience held by Burundi|Burundian activists|Burundian prisoners and detainees|Anti-corruption activists|Year of birth missing (living people) |
