An Open-Air Prison - Victoire Ingabire and Kate Gibson

Dissidents and Dictators

On today’s episode, Casey and Elisha are joined by Rwandan opposition leader Victoire Ingabire and Kate Gibson, part of her international legal team, to discuss the case they filed with the East African Court of Justice to restore Ingabire’s civic rights after being absurdly convicted of terrorism and genocide denial, for which she spent eight years in prison. Now, she’s not only being barred from running in the country’s July presidential elections; she is also being prevented from leaving the country. The foursome unpack the question: What is Paul Kagame, Rwanda’s decades-long dictator, so afraid of?
