Rwandan Court Bars Opposition Candidate From July Polls
Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire says she longs for a country where there is separation of powers between the branches of government, particularly an independent judiciary. This comes after a court on Wednesday disqualified her from participating in the July 2024 presidential elections. The court said Ingabire was not eligible because of a previous conviction. According to Reuters, Ingabire spent eight years in prison before President Paul Kagame pardoned her in 2018. She tells VOA’s James Butty Rwandan courts are not independent.
