Petitioning the President of Rwanda Paul KAGAME: Free Victoire INGABIRE UMUHOZA the rwandan opposition leader

Mrs. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza denounced persisting lack of accountability for the events that led to the tragedy that befell Rwanda as well as the discrimination between the victims of genocide and widespread killings in Rwanda.

This quest for truth and justice raised an outcry in the circles close to power. Thus, in late 2013 she was sentenced to 15 years in prison after a sham trial.

When Mrs. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza lodged her complaint to the African Court of Human and Peoples' Rights, in Arusha, Tanzania to appeal against her politically motivated trial, the Government of Rwanda, after trying a series of strategies to prevent the applicant from appearing before this Court, ended up deciding not to show up at the hearing scheduled for March 4, 2016. The government did so by withdrawing from the Treaty that established the Court, to which it had acceded without reservations. This attitude of the Government of Paul Kagame was unanimously interpreted as an admission of the purely political nature of the conviction of the opposition leader Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza. Indeed, if the Rwanda government was sure of winning the case, it would have seized the opportunity to clear the tarnished image of its judiciary, accused of lack of independence from the Executive.

In view of the fact that the Rwandan Government has implicitly admitted the widely acknowledged political nature of the trial by refusing an independent scrutiny of its court ruling, I ask for your massive support to this petition, which calls upon the Rwandan Government and President Paul Kagame to release immediately and rehabilitate the opposition leader Mrs Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza so that she can continue her mission to unite and reconcile the deeply traumatised people of Rwanda.

For more information on the purely political nature of the conviction of Mrs. Victoire Ingabire Umuhoza, please read the following sources :

-          European Parliament resolution of 23 May 2013 on Rwanda: case of Victoire Ingabire

-         Rwanda: Opposition leader's right to a fair trial in jeopardy

-        World Report 2015: Rwanda, Events of 2014

-        Rwanda : Victoire Ingabire sentenced to eight years imprisonment after a trial marred by irregularities and a lack of transparency

Thank you !

Innocent BIRUKA, France.

This petition will be delivered to:
  • The President of Rwanda, Paul KAGAME

-“The root cause of the Rwandan tragedy of 1994 is the long and past historical ethnic dominance of one minority ethnic group to the other majority ethnic group. Ignoring this reality is giving a black cheque for the Rwandan people’s future and deepening resentment, hostility and hatred between the two groups.”
