Victoire Ingabire at the African Court on Human and People's Rights | Ann Garrison

Victoire Ingabire at the African Court on Human and People's Rights | Ann Garrison

 Ingabire was convicted of inspiring Rwandans to rise up against the
state, and quote unquote “genocide denial,” which means disagreeing with
the official history of the genocide that is legally enforced in
Rwanda. She said that there were both Hutus and Tutsis extremists and
victims during the mass killing in Rwanda in 1994 and before and after,
and that both sides must be allowed to mourn and commemorate their dead.

 The
Womens International Network for Democracy and Peace demonstrated in
Brussels for the freedom of Rwandan political prisoner Victoire
Ingabire Umuhoza in December 2013, after the Rwandan Supreme Court
increased her sentence from 8 to 15 years.
