Prosecutors in Burundi are seeking life imprisonment for former Prime Minister Alain-Guillaume Bunyoni, who is on trial for seven charges, including using witchcraft to threaten the president’s life.
Mr Bunyoni’s trial started in September, a year after he was fired by President Evariste Ndayishimiye over suspicions that Mr Bunyoni was plotting a "coup" against him.
Prosecutor Jean-Bosco Bucumi called for Mr Bunyoni to pay damages equivalent to twice the value of the 153 houses and plots of land and the 43 vehicles belonging to him, in addition to a fine of 7.1m Burundian francs.
