Basic tenets of judicial fairness don’t exist in Rwanda and can’t be superimposed on a country through a treaty signed in the #UK in return for money. There can be no oversight or accountability, since Rwanda is a dictatorship #refugee #deportation #asylum

Rwandan courts will not protect refugees’ rights, say daughters of genocide hero

Family of Paul Rusesabagina, who campaigned to have him freed from jail, say country’s justice system is a ‘tool to oppress people’
