Liliane has been charged with indecent attire at a concert in Rwanda.
A photo of Liliane, who was at a concert by popular French musician Tayc a few days ago, had gone viral on the internet.
Busingye Johnston, Rwanda’s current ambassador to the United Kingdom, condemned Liliane’s mode of dress in a tweet on his verified account, calling it an objectionable act.
He wrote:
“The current issue of our young men and women who drink and dr*g themselves unconscious, appear in public literally naked is objectionable.”
Spokesman for the prosecution, Faustin Nkusi had said the woman committed serious crime for appearing “n@ked” in public, saying it was a “shameful dress”.
The 24-year-old lady was charged in court on Thursday, according to Rwanda’s newspaper, The Chronicles.
