Insult The President Of Rwanda And Go To Jail - Supreme Court Rules by unclexofficial: 4:20pm On Apr 26, 2019 |
A challenge to the law which says it is a crime to insult the President of Rwanda, has been rejected by the Supreme Court in the country who also upheld the jail sentence that comes with it. The new law which stated that anyone insulting President Paul Kagame faces between five and seven years in prison, was challenged by a lawyer, Richard Mugisha who argued it was unconstitutional and undermined freedom of expression. While the court ruled that the law should remain due to the responsibility that the office holds, it also ruled that a law which prohibits writing articles or drawing cartoons that humiliate MPs, ministers or other government officials should be annulled.Also the Supreme Court which upheld the law which made it a crime to insult the President of Rwanda and also proposed a jail term, also refused upturning the law which criminalises adultery. https://unclesuru.com/2019/04/26/insult-the-president-of-rwanda-and-go-to-jail-supreme-court-rules/ 9 Likes

If Rwanda was America, then their jail would have overflow and there will not be space to contain prisoners. Because over 100 million people insult Trump and Obama per second. The whole of Africa should be a large city ruled by a set of Military unit supervised by the Queen of England. 66 Likes 6 Shares |

Either supreme court ruled it or not, no Rwandan can insult President Kagame. The person will be arrested if not shot immediately. 2 Likes 1 Share |

Africa and power sometimes create controversial approach towards issues. Do they know how many insults Trump n Obama get daily ? This is the reason Africa seem not to grow... And by d way if the president is "doing" well already, he could have done better if this approach isn't in place. Where there is criticism, one is poised to pick up challenge ...

Beulah77: Itsnot peculiar to Africa. Despite recommendations by international human rights bodies, including the OSCE Office of the Representative on Freedom of the Media, criminal defamation and insult laws are on the statute books in three-quarters of OSCE participating States. Imprisonment is a possible sanction in the vast majority of cases; Particular problem areas remain Southern Europe (especially Greece, Italy, Portugal and Turkey), Central Europe (especially Hungary), Central Asia and Azerbaijan, although occasional convictions of journalists continue to take place in states typically considered strong defenders of media freedom such as Denmark, Germany and Switzerland. 8 Likes |
