The Rwanda Classified Project

Inside the repressive machinery of Paul Kagame’s regimeM28Investigates and its partners examined the troubling circumstances of Rwandan journalist John Williams Ntwali’s death, and meanwhile pursued the investigation that put the journalist in authorities’ crosshairs. The journalists of Rwanda Classified also looked into the hidden side of Kagame’s regime. From assassination attempts and suspicious deaths to intimidation and the use of surveillance technologies even against members of the ruling party, our investigation reveals how the Rwandan government sets about silencing critics at home and abroad.
