Rwanda: RSF calls for release of journalist Dominique Makeli, held for 10 years
23.09.2004
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) has urged the authorities to free Radio Rwanda journalist Dominique Makeli, who has been held for 10 years in various Rwandan jails without ever appearing in court. Arrested on 18 September 1994, Makeli is currently being held in Kigali central prison. "On the 10th anniversary of Makeli's arrest, we believe his release would send a strong signal of good faith if the Rwandan government wants to be able continue proclaiming its support for press freedom," the organisation added.
