Rights group charges Rwanda with murdering detractors

Human Rights Watch (HRW), a group that defends people’s rights, has accused Rwanda of using oppressive methods to go after its critics outside of the country, even if those critics have asked for help from other countries.

The text is saying that there are acts of violence, such as killings and disappearances, as well as surveillance and misuse of law enforcement. These actions are meant to isolate people who may criticize the government.

A report has been released as the highest court in the UK listens to the government‘s appeal. The government wants to send asylum seekers back to Rwanda, but a previous ruling prevented them from doing so.

The UK said that Rwanda is not a safe country.

Yasmine Ahmed, the UK director of Human Rights Watch, said that the findings show that Rwanda is not a country that the UK should depend on to follow international standards or the rule of law when it comes to asylum seekers.

Rwanda says the allegations are not true. Government spokesperson Yolande Makolo says HRW is not telling the truth and is trying to push a political agenda.

The HRW talked to about 150 people from different parts of the world since President Paul Kagame won the election in 2017.

The text says that it has recorded cases of mistreatment against people from Rwanda who live in different countries like Australia, Belgium, Canada, France, Kenya, Mozambique, South Africa, Tanzania, Uganda, the UK, and the US. It also includes their family members living in Rwanda.
