Rights group Human Rights Watch (HRW) has accused Rwanda of using repressive tactics to target its critics abroad, including those who have sought international protection.


The report has been published as the UK's Supreme Court hears the British government’s appeal against a ruling blocking its plans to deport asylum seekers to Rwanda.

According to the report, the UK should not consider Rwanda a safe country.

Rwanda denies the allegations, with government spokesperson Yolande Makolo accusing HRW of "distorting the reality" and “advancing a politicized agenda”.
