CHRI: Grave Concerns over Rwanda's Elections!!!
Commonwealth Human Rights Initiative Press Release, 6 March 2010
CHRI is deeply concerned at the continued restrictions and threats to
opposition parties in the run up to Rwanda's Presidential elections on 9 August
2010 and urges the Rwandan Government to take immediate steps to ensure respect
for the basic, universal rights to freedom of expression, freedom of association
and peaceful assembly of opposition parties, said a statement issued by the
Commonwealth Rights Initiative sent to the Freedom Newspaper's Weekend Edition.
According to the CHRI “The absence of these rights is tantamount to breaches
of the Commonwealth's fundamental political principles that insist on free and
fair elections (Harare Declaration 1991).”
