In Rwanda, a dark cloud looms over the principles of free expression, as eight members of the political opposition and a journalist are embroiled in a trial questioned for its very legitimacy. Detained for three years, they await an outcome burdened by charges that seem to emerge from a dystopian narrative rather than reality.

This case serves as a stark reminder of the fragile state of human rights amidst a backdrop of repression and fear.
