According to various reports, Ms. Ingabire Victoire is punished for her fight.
The Rwandan vile and nauseating hypocrisy.
Ms. Victoire Ingabire is spending her 204th day in captivity in maximum prison today.
More isolation measures are now in force. The party members who visited the prison today were not given a chance to see Ms. Victoire Ingabire, FDU-INKINGI chairperson. The jailers informed that they have orders to follow and that any other questions should be addressed to the Minister in charge of internal Security.
On 29 April 2011 a dozen of FDU-INKINGI party members were chased away by the maximum prison security staff. Security minister Fazil Harelimana told the BBC Kinyarwanda that Madam Victoire Ingabire “must submit in advance herself a list of 5 people prior to the visitation days because the government does not want anybody to disturb prisoners when they are watching TV, reading or enjoying their siesta” . The political prisoner is incommunicado and has no means to pre-screen and shortlist her visitors days before. This is enormously inconvenient and has the direct effect of making visits impossible.
Since January 2011, the defense counsel has not been allowed to take confidential instructions from the client due to continuous and persistent monitoring of their discussions by security operatives. Prompt access has been often denied too. Those persistent violations of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights are seriously compromising all chances for a fair trial in Rwanda.
We call upon President Paul Kagame and his government to consider the humanity of political prisoners and remove all those obstacles.

African SurViVors International (ASI) is an international nonpartisan charity organization devoted to defending human rights. It’s an organization working to promote democracy and national reconciliation, inside countries of the African Great lakes Region.
ASI centers its work on the twin concepts of freedom of self-determination and freedom from tyranny. These ideals include the belief that all human beings have the rights to speak freely, to associate with those of like mind, and to leave and enter their countries. Individuals in a free society must be accorded equal treatment and due process under law, and must have the opportunity to participate in the governments of their countries;
ASI’s ideals likewise find expression in the conviction that all human beings have the right to be free from arbitrary detainment or exile and from interference and coercion in matters of conscience. ASI does not support nor condone violence.
The Truth can be buried and stomped into the ground where none can see, yet eventually it will, like a seed, break through the surface once again far more potent than ever, and Nothing can stop it. Truth can be suppressed for a “time”, yet It cannot be destroyed. ==> Wolverine
