| Title | Freedom of Expression in Rwanda Peace Building or Peace Destroying? |
| Summary | When free speech is discussed in post genocide Rwanda opinions are generally of 1. Those who favor strict limits because of the ill consequences in the run-up to the 1994 genocide or 2. Those who are in favor of greater press liberties with the hope of fostering an open, plural dialogue. Both groups are in agreement about the end—a peaceful, stable society that will not repeat the mistakes of the past. As it concerns Rwanda’s recovery, the country has made great strides. As it concerns the government, the current political establishment has paid lip service to the notion of a free press but in fact has erred on the side of suppressing press freedoms. Incidents of intimidation and violence are documented herein. This thesis is based, in large part, on interviews conducted with journalists in Rwanda in 2007. |
