نشر موقع الإذاعة الدنماركية تقريراً حول ملف حقوق الإنسان في رواندا، ورد فيه أن منظمات حقوق الإنسان تؤكد عاماً بعد عام أن هناك مشاكل كبيرة تتعلق بقضايا حقوق الإنسان في رواندا، حيث تظهر الأرقام الصادرة عن المفوضية السامية للأمم المتحدة لشؤون اللاجئين أن رواندا “ليست للجميع”. ففي الفترة الممتدة بين 2018-2021 حصل 5654 مواطناً رواندياً على حق اللجوء في بلدان أخرى.
ووفقاً لتوماس جاميلتوفت هانسن أستاذ قانون الهجرة واللاجئين في جامعة كوبنهاجن فإن “ذلك يدل على أن رواندا لا تزال دولة استبدادية للغاية، كما أننا حصلنا على تأكيد على ذلك من منظمات مختلفة، هناك مراقبة وقمع للنشطاء السياسيين على وجه الخصوص، مثلما توجد حالات تعذيب واغتيالات سياسية مشتبه بها. هناك أيضًا مشهد إعلامي تحت ضغط كبير جداً، ما يعني أن الصحفيين الناقدين بشكل خاص يواجهون ظروفاً صعبة للغاية في رواندا. هذا يعني أنه سيتعين على الناس الفرار وطلب اللجوء في بلدان أخرى”.
Political assassinations of opponents
The Danish Broadcasting Corporation website spoke to several political refugees from Rwanda, who were not safe in Rwanda and now live in other countries where they also fear for their lives.
One of the cases that has already caused fear among critics of Rwandan President Paul Kagame occurred in South Africa on New Year's Eve 2013, where Patrick Karajia, a childhood friend of Kagame and the two of whom fought together in the army that stopped the genocide 28 years earlier, was so close to the president's inner circle that he ended up as head of Rwandan intelligence. However, he was unconcerned about the widespread electoral fraud and repression and was at odds with the president, so he joined a political group in South Africa that worked on attempts to secure Rwandan opposition from abroad.
Many political opponents of Rwandan President Paul Kagame fear for their lives and flee abroad. What happened on New Year's Eve between 2013 and 2014 was that the former head of intelligence was found strangled in a room in Johannesburg, South Africa, and then disappeared. It turned out that the perpetrators had fled to Rwanda.
South African police kept the investigation secret for a long time, but after five years they were forced to release information about the perpetrators, which pointed to Rwanda. Journalists who wrote articles critical of the Rwandan president were imprisoned or forced to flee the country; in some cases, they were killed.
Critics of Kagame in both Belgium and Britain are under intelligence protection due to fears of assassination attempts.
The Radical Party threatens the Danish government
Earlier, Development Minister Flemming Møller Mortensen and Minister for Foreigners and Integration Kaar Deppvad visited Rwanda to accelerate the government's plans to establish an asylum reception center outside Europe, and we were able to return to Denmark with a political agreement between Denmark and Rwanda on the establishment of an asylum center in Rwanda. However, at the same time it was clear that there was still no legal agreement on how to monitor the cases of asylum seekers.
The agreement also lacks a financial component and also lacks a specific location in Rwanda where asylum seekers to Denmark will reside.
The Danish government commends Rwanda's respect for fundamental human rights.
ومع كل تلك المعطيات واصل وزيرة الاندماج كار ديبفاد وبثقة الحديث عن أن رواندا تستطيع أن ترقى إلى مستوى مطالب حقوق الإنسان، حيث إن وزير الاندماج كار ديبفاد لا يرى أي مشاكل في التعاون مع ما يسميه النقاد بالديكتاتورية، حيث علق بالقول: “يمكننا التعاون مع أولئك الذين يجعلون حقوق الإنسان الأساسية متاحة للأشخاص الذين نتعامل معهم، ويمكننا أن نضمن احترامها”.
On the other hand, the Radicals see the issue differently and again threatened the Danish government last week, as the leader of the Radical Party, Venstre Sophie Carsten Nielsen, confirmed that the party would not give mandates to a government that makes an arbitrary agreement with a dictator in Rwanda. The same party also reiterated that it had given Prime Minister Mette Frederiksen a deadline of October 4 to announce the date of the general parliamentary elections, against the backdrop of the mink issue.
