A court in Rwanda has blocked efforts by popular opposition figure Victoire Ingabire to lift a ban on her running in July’s presidential election.
She was freed in 2018 after spending eight years in prison for threatening state security and “belittling” the 1994 genocide.
In Rwanda, people who have been jailed for more than six months are barred from running in elections.
Ingabire said the court’s ruling was politicized. “I don’t agree with what the judge said, and unfortunately you can’t appeal before two years. We are still far from a law-abiding country,” she said.
Ingabire is an outspoken critic of President Paul Kagame, who has been the dominant force in the country for three decades.
