Iyo ni imvugo ya Human Rights Watch guhera mu myaka umunani ishize,bakomeza bakoresha birengagije iterambere twagezeho. Abahoze ari inzererezi ubu twabahinduye abaturage b’ingirakamaro”.

Busingye yavuze ko HRW yasohoye iyo raporo mu gihe Komite ishinzwe uburenganzira bw’umwana mu Muryango w’Abibumbye, yatangiye kureba aho u Rwanda ruhagaze mu kubahiriza uburenganzira bw’umwana, ibyo bikaba bigaragaza ko hari impamvu za politiie ziri inyuma y’iyo raporo.
