#BoycottRwanda

A boycott is directed against a policy and the institutions which support that policy either actively or tacitly. -- John Berger

[Shima Diane Rwigara @ShimaRwigara]

“I will continue my campaign to fight for the rights of all Rwandans,” a surprised but happy Rwigara told reporters after celebrating. “This is the beginning, because there’s still a lot that needs to be done in our country.”

A group of members of the US Congress are calling on the Rwandan government to drop charges against Diane Rwigara, a fierce government critic who is facing up to 22 years in prison on charges of incitement and fraud https://t.co/we4Sts6mnP

[New York Times World @nytimesworld]

Ms. Rwigara is a rare domestic critic in a country that has shown little tolerance for political dissent https://t.co/1Gl0hfvqfA

Diane Rwigara: Rwanda government critic acquitted https://t.co/ixolHQiuiJ

[Suzanne Bonamici @RepBonamici]

We just learned that the Rwandan court has dropped all charges against Diane Rwigara and her mother Adeline. I’m encouraged that the Rwandan government recognized that these women shouldn’t be punished for Diane’s peaceful political participation.

Vital to remember that Diane #Rwigara and her mother's acquittal is only a small part of the story. The #Kagame regime will now point to this as an example of "leniency" or "justice," when in fact, their persecution served its purpose: a chilling effect to other would-be critics.

LIVE NOW: Kigali High Court dismisses all charges against Mrs. Adeline #Rwigara.

[Jeffrey Smith @Smith_JeffreyT]

“The court rules that Diane Rwigara is innocent.” Huge victory for justice in #Rwanda. The global attention on this case no doubt played a role. Let's not forget the many others similarly charged and languishing in prison for exercising their basic rights. https://t.co/zkJAm332b2

Mr #PressureHano @PaulKagame: Now go ahead and release Deo Mushayidi. We dont care if you do the whole 'court room pretend justice' masquerade like you did with #DianeRwigara or the 'I pardon you' trick #Ingabire, just do it. We wont ease up pressure. #Rwanda #FreeDeoMushayidi

The winner of the 2018 Mavis Gallant Prize for Non-Fiction is... @JudiRever, with In Praise of Blood (@randomhouse)!

We are glad that she wrote about the Killings of Dictator and Despot President of Rwanda @PaulKagame. #FreeRwandanPoliticalPrisoners.

[Judi Rever @JudiRever]

@ruhumuza @OfficialQWF @randomhouse @UN This award belongs to the courageous Rwandans - Tutsi and Hutu - and Congolese who have stood up to decades of tyranny from Kagame, the RPF and all their agents worldwide. The book is merely one of many efforts by them and others over 25 years to speak truth to power.
