"Freedm of Speech and Assembly in Danger"
Rwanda has asked a human rights researcher to leave the country, citing anomalies in her visa application, in a move the watchdog says is part of a crackdown on freedom of expression ahead of August's presidential election.
A Human Right Watch (HRW) statement on Saturday said Carina Tertsakian, its senior researcher in Rwanda, was told by immigration officials that she would not be granted a work visa.
"The immigration officials refused to put their decision in writing. They told Tertsakian that as a British national she could not exceed her 90-day legal stay in the country, which expires on April 24," the statement said.
