HRW Criticises Rwanda's Insecurity and Repression
The Human Rights Watch (HRW) has warned that insecurity and political repression are increasing in advance of Rwanda's August 2010 presidential elections.
HRW Africa director, Rona Peligal, points out that the security situation is rapidly deteriorating, adding that with only 45 days left before the election, the government is lashing out to silence its opponents and critics.
The organisation has called on the Rwandan government to investigate all incidents of violence and ensure that opposition activists and journalists are able to carry out their legitimate activities in safety.
