The Rwandan women’s activist Diane Shima Rwigara who is a critic of President Paul Kagame is now facing treason charges after her latest arrest on Friday by police in Rwanda.
Police in Rwanda have confirmed the arrest of some members of the country’s two opposition parties on Thursday. The two parties, FDU-Inkingi and the PDP-Imanzi according to officials are not recognised officially and will now be questioned for their activities.
Rwandan police said on Wednesday they were investigating Diane Shima Rwigara - a critic of President Paul Kagame barred from challenging him in elections this month - for tax evasion and forgery.
Paul Kagame was inaugurated on Friday to serve for the next seven years as President of Rwanda after winning re-election this month with nearly 99 percent of the vote.
