Maina_Kiai_400-242x300Global Campaign for Rwandan’s Human Right welcomes the report that Mr Maina Kiai, United Nationals Special Rapporteur on the rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and of association has produced as result of his visit in Rwanda from 20 to 27 January to assess the situation of freedom of peaceful assembly and association in the country.

In his report, Mr Kiai clearly detailed his findings about important limitation of a free country which are freedom of peaceful assembly and rights of associations. The lack or limitation of those two important pillars of a free and a democratic country are characteristics of an oppressive state.

This is an unfortunate situation to be for a country that has experienced a genocide and various circles of conflicts that have been fuelled by unresolved grievances and lack of freedom which led to loss of lives of millions of people and suffering of millions of more people.

We welcome and endorse all recommendations that Mr Kiai recommended to be implemented in order to bring about a landscape of freedom in Rwanda at a humanly acceptable standard.
