Rwanda genocide laws 'need review’, Amnesty

London, 31 Aug-(ANA)-Rwanda should review two laws banning the promotion of genocide ideology and sectarianism, Amnesty International says.

The campaign groups says the vague wording has enabled their misuse to criminalise dissent.

The government was widely criticised for using them to smother opposition in the run-up the elections won by President Paul Kagame this month.

Rwanda's justice minister has said that the Amnesty allegations were baseless. (ANA)
