 Ref: Killings of Innocent People during the years 2004-2005.

 

His Excellency;

 Organization for Peace Justice and Development in Rwanda (OPJDR).Inc.; a Human Rights Organization, is deeply dismayed and preoccupied by the excessive degradation of the Human Rights abuses in Rwanda particularly since the official launch of the traditional Gacaca jurisdictions in 2002.  Since then, arbitrary arrests and disappearances of the peoples were stressed and worsened during these three months.

 In the beginning of April 2005, during Gacaca jurisdiction held in Rango, district of Ngenda, the Gacaca leadership
ordered two men, namely Tabaro Azarias, 40 years and Mukuralinda, 30 years to move from the Gacaca and wait on the side. From there they disappeared and no one knows where they were taken. The same day at least six other men: Anatole Mwambajimana, Andrea Habimana, Martin Ndindabahizi, Samule Kandege, Dionisio Rohoyamungu and Nyilimbibi, were separated from Gacaca without any reason and taken by soldiers to the prison of Rilima, District of Gashora, Kigali-rural province. Since then, they have disappeared and no body knows their fate. Many people continue to be taken away at night and disappear. Among those who have also vanished from the same area we know that Antoine (Catechist), Pascal Hitimana, Emmanuel Gashikirande, Yakobo Kandanga and Malachias all disappeared without any trace. 

 Below is a list of some other recent killings our organization registered and one of the causes of the recent two huge exodus of Hutu population to Burundi and Uganda.

 List of others 78 reported people who were killed during 2004-2005

Excellence President, the Rwandan people are crying and begging for your protection from the extremist killers. These people are innocents and deserve to live like their neighbors. OPJDR is wooing the Rwandan Government to encourage and support the national reconciliation and protect all its population against manipulative racists while asking the survivors of the genocide to be correct and stop the false accusations against their neighbors as concocted by certain Rwandan organizations such as IBUKA and AVEGA. 

 

 

Sincerely.
