Rwanda
Rwanda’s Supreme Court ruled earlier this year against a challenge of the law in the country which says that insulting the president is a crime. This draconian law was introduced in 2018 and its implications are that a person faces between five and seven years in prison if found guilty of the offence.
This clearly shows how democratic values are ignored in Rwanda, possibly for the convenience of economic development. President Paul Kagame’s government has been notoriously known for imprisoning political opponents and it is feared that this law is a measure that insulates the government from being challenged.
It is true that president Kagame has done a lot to improve the economic development of Rwanda and bringing stability to the country after a period of a devastating genocide, but the citizens have described this law as tantamount to endorsing democratic and human rights violations.
