Rwanda court rejects opposition leader’s appeal
KIGALI, Rwanda — Rwanda’s highest court has rejected an appeal by an opposition politician who was convicted for organizing an illegal gathering, inciting ethnic division and threatening state security.
Bernard Ntaganda, a former leader of Rwanda’s PS-Imberakuri party, was not in court on Friday when the ruling was made to uphold his four year jail sentence. He was arrested in July 2010 and convicted in February 2011.
Ntaganda, a Hutu, was accused of describing the government of President Paul Kagame as Tutsi-dominated and then calling for a power-sharing agreement between majority Hutus and minority Tutsis. He denied all the charges.
He is the third opposition leader to be charged under the country’s stringent anti-genocide laws..
I wonder ;such a goverment where there is no justice to locals now international community is sending suspects like J.leo Mugesera and J.Uwinkindi to be tried there hum Rwanda.
In any case Rwandan people will continue to challenge Kagame’s dictatership despite his heartless fear of opposition.Ntaganda is in prison but they are still numerous Ntagandas in Rwanda and many more of them are yet to emerge.Tell President Kagame not to change our constitution come 2017.
A lutta continua.
GOD BLESS RWANDA
