The Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation was saddened to hear that the
Rwanda dictatorship's paranoia has claimed another victim. In the past
decades, President Kagame has jailed or allegedly had killed dozens of
people who have criticized or questioned him.
Last month his justice department sentenced Victoire Ingabire, a
former Presidential candidate, to an additional 15 years in prison.
"It is very bad luck to oppose President Kagame," said Paul
Rusesabagina, President of the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation.
"I was not shocked to hear the news of the death of Patrick Karegeya.
It is not easy to speak out about President Kagame's human rights
abuses."
The last election season had more casualties than just VIctoire.
Another Kagame opponent, Andre Kagwa Rwisereka the Green Party
candidate, was found killed, decapitated and quartered.
Rusesabagina continued, "In a Democracy, people challenge one another
at the ballot box. Losers go back to their pre-election lives, they
are not sent to jail or killed. People in the west praise Rwanda's
economy. What good is a healthy economy when the most of the country
is a prison with no freedom and no justice.?"
Other alleged victims of Kagame's violence include:
Oct 1996: Theoneste Lizinde, MP and former intelligence chief,
assassinated in Nairobi, Kenya.
May 1998: Seth Sendashonga, former interior minister, gunned down in
Nairobi with businessman Augustin Bugirimfura after challenging
Kagame's human rights abuses. He had previously survived another
attempt on his life.
March 2000: Assiel Kabera, former presidential adviser & provincial
governor, shot dead in Kigali. Witness said killers wore military
uniform.

rights activist, disappeared in Kigali.

Rwanda's external intelligence services, found strangled in South
