Rwanda Greens Fight for Rights

The video below is from Ann Garrison, who has been covering the suppression of the Green Party in Rwanda. If you want more information about this I highly recommend her website.

From the Youtube description:

Rwandan security operatives and police broke up the Democratic Green Party of Rwanda’s attempt to convene in Kigali, Rwanda on 10.30.2009. I reported this on several blogs and on the OpEdNews, and notified KPFA Radio 94.1FM-Berkeley, which called me on 10.01.2009, with this result. Unfortunately they were not able to reach interim Rwanda Green Party leader Frank Habineza, but Frank can be heard in an on-the-ground BBC report, saying: “There is no rule of law in Rwanda! . . . If you want to keep us out of the elections, and you want to get 99% of the vote, then you have to say it! Enough is enough! We are going forward! We are not going back!”

    And I thought the Greens here in the US were having a tough time.
