Rwanda UPR NGO Submission

This submission was prepared by HRF, for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Rwanda. In this submission, HRF evaluates Rwanda’s implementation of recommendations made during its previous UPR, as it relates to the current human rights situation in the country, which is characterized by systematic, widespread, and gross violations of human rights, including: ongoing arbitrary arrests/detentions, violation of due process, curtailment of freedom of expression and press, and far-reaching transnational repression — obscured by widespread reputation laundering.
