1/18 A LONG thread for those following the #Rusesabagina case in #Rwanda and the cloak-and-dagger circumstances of his arrest.

Rwanda routinely uses unlawful means of arrest/detention and torture on both real and perceived opponents. 2017 @hrw report: hrw.org/news/2017/10/1… 2/18 The list of names associated with unlawful disappearances, detentions and killings is long. Simply put, political opponents in #Rwanda die. Start with the 2019 killing of FDU member Syldio Dusabumuremyi.rfi.fr/fr/afrique/201…

THREAD: 1/10 An under reported #COVID-19 story has unfolded in #Burundi. Since March, the government was telling people that the pandemic would never hit the country because it was protected by God. @hrw hrw.org/news/2020/03/3… 2/10 Still in March and w/ elections on the horizon, the government threatened those who took preventative measures against #COVID-19. Information on quarantine centers was hidden, we found people that had been crammed in overcrowded buildings with little hygiene infrastructure.
