TAKE ACTION: PROTECT THE RIGHTS OF RWANDESE REFUGEES

In spite of the real security threat that still exists in Rwanda, hosting governments of Rwandese refugees have been showing signs of involuntary and forceful repatriation of these refugees to Rwanda. Urge the governments of Tanzania and the Republic of Congo to honor their commitments under the 1951 Convention on Refugees and the 1969 Organization of African Unity convention relating to refugees.

ACT NOW:
Please send appeals to the governments of Tanzania and the Republic of Congo.

HOTEL RWANDA

Amnesty International is proud to support Hotel Rwanda -- an important and timely film that chronicles the 1994 genocide in Rwanda that claimed the lives of over 800,000 people and created a refugee crisis affecting over 3 million others.
