A recent report by Human Rights Watch has shed light on the severe human rights abuses occurring in detention facilities in Rwanda. The report accuses Rwandan authorities of torturing inmates and highlights a lack of accountability for those responsible.
Under the three-decade rule of President Paul Kagame, political dissent and free speech have been severely curtailed in Rwanda. International campaigners have long criticized the shrinking civil rights space in the small east African country.
France 24’s Clément di Roma reported from Kigali, Rwanda, where he highlighted the grim reality of the situation. The report paints a disturbing picture of detention facilities in Rwanda, where inmates live in fear of torture and abuse.
The findings of the report are deeply troubling and call for urgent attention and action from the Rwandan authorities. It is essential that those responsible for these human rights abuses are held accountable and that steps are taken to ensure the safety and well-being of all individuals detained in Rwandan facilities. Human rights must be upheld and protected, even in the most challenging of circumstances.
