Rwanda: Prisoner killings the norm - Human Rights Watch report

Deaths of detainees in the hands of national police officers of Rwanda have now become norm, a new report released by the New York-based Human Rights Watch has unearthed. From November 2006 to date, at least 20 such killings have taken place in the east African country. Suspecting that some of the police killings appear to be extra-judicial executions, the rights watchdog asked for prompt investigations by an independent and impartial board of inquiry to take place.
