Rwanda now protests deportation of Banyarwanda

Rwanda has protested the increased cases of deportation and torture of Banyarwanda from Uganda.

Kigali alleges that some Kinyarwanda speakers, former military officers, business people and students are being held incommunicado by Ugandan intelligence.

The Rwandan ambassador to Uganda Frank Mugambaje told The EastAfrican that the embassy has been receiving reports of deportations and torture of Banyarwanda.
