Alleged assassination attempt against Rwandan opposition party leaders.

PRESS RELEASE N° 018/P.S. IMB/011

Recalling the assassination attempt by firearm against the PS IMBERAKURI party leader in the District of KICUKIRO on September 15, 2011;

Referring to the persecutions towards the imprisoned party leaders, the PS IMBERAKURI would like to inform the people of Rwanda, friends of Rwanda, and the IMBERAKURI in particular of the followings:

ARTICLE 1

Recalling our letter dated September 27, 2011, addressed to the highest authorities of the country, where we expressed PS IMBERAKURI's deepest concerns regarding the alarming detention conditions of Mr Eric NSHIMYUMUREMYI, party leader in the Kigali District of KICUKIRO who was shot by Rwandan police during the day. The information at our disposal states he is in very critical condition. The area in his chest where a bullet is still present has started rotting. In addition, he is being tortured and beaten daily by his guards at the police hospital where he is being detained.

ARTICLE 2

The PS IMBERAKURI party has also been informed there is a conspiracy to assassinate Me. Bernard NTAGANDA, President and founder of the party, in his detention cell in the Maximum Security Prison of Kigali since June 2010. This assassination scheme is being led by one GAHIMA Fred, a prisoner in charge of the RPF Task Force inside the Maximum Security Prison of Kigali. The conspiracy to assassinate our leader will start by the murder of Mr. Donatien MUKESHIMANA, who is in charge of NTAGANDA’s security.
To that end, Mr. Donatien MUKESHIMANA, also detained with Me NTAGANDA, was transferred into a solitary confinement cell with no light, not enough space to lie down, and where he is continuously sprayed with sewage water day and night. Mr. MUKESHIMANA Donatien is in very critical condition. His legs and eyes are severely swollen and he can barely stand and get out on his own.

The P.S. IMBERAKURI party implores all people of goodwill to speak out on behalf of our party leaders and other detained politicians and denounce the inhuman persecution by the government of Rwanda towards its political opponents.

Done in Kigali on October 10, 2011,

BAKUNZIBAKE Alexis (Signed)
First Vice President, PS IMBERAKURI
