RNC terror PR machines David Murunganwa alias Himbara and the sex-for-grades professor Charles Kambanda joined a bandwagon of anti-Rwanda scoundrels to popularize the false narrative that “President Kagame released terror convict Paul Rusesabagina under pressure mounted by the United States Administration.”
The funded goons omit the fact that Rusesabagina, Callixte Nsabimana alias Sankara and other convicts in the FLN trial were pardoned by the Head of State as provided under Article 228 and 229 of the Law on Criminal Procedure. Releasing Rusesabagina doesn’t remove the fact that he was convicted of terrorism.
Murunganwa and the link-minded elements and groups should know that Rwandan laws are crystal clear; if Rusesabagina repeats his crimes by engaging in terrorism- related activities against the government of Rwanda, commutation will be revoked, and shall be pursued to serve the remainder of his jail sentence.
Himbara, Charles Kambanda- notorious rapist and many other peddling the “pressure” narrative can’t substantiate their claims. The same President Kagame released Ingabire Victoire Umuhoza and Kizito Mihigo who were convicted on capital offenses including terrorism just like Rusesabagina; genocide convicts were as well set free on commutation to mention but a few; this argument of “pressure” is invalid.
In fact for those who understand how sensible governance operate wouldn’t have an issue with what President Kagame did. For Rwanda having arrested and tried Rusesabagina, that itself conforms to Rwanda’s principle of zero-tolerance to impunity and running competent, independent judicial systems.
