Rwanda detention abuses make jail 'place of fear', HRW report says
Rwandan authorities are perpetrating serious human rights abuses in detention facilities, including torturing inmates, Human Rights Watch said Tuesday, denouncing a lack of accountability for those responsible. Under President Paul Kagame's three-decade rule, political dissent and free speech have been crushed, with international campaigners long decrying the shrinking civil rights space in the small east African country. HRW's report is based on interviews between 2019 and 2024 with almost 30 people, including former inmates, as well as court documents and interviews shared online. For more, FRANCE 24's Nadia Massih is joined by Clémentine de Montjoye, Senior Researcher in the Africa division of Human Rights Watch.
