Harassed Journalist Gets Back Equipment

Police has helped a radio journalist recover his working equipment that had been confiscated from him by unknown people who claimed they were security personnel.

This happened last weekend at Agence pub in Remera-Kigali, where Eric Muvara a popular Radio Flash journalist was harassed, tortured and his camera and a recorder removed from him by anonymous people.

In an interview with igihe.com, Muvara said that he was taking photos for a story at a pub near Alpha Palace Hotel where people including some women were involved in a fight. Muvara was attacked immediately and beaten.

He was rescued by the police officers on patrol after a long fight with them, and the police arrested civilians involved in the fight while the military police arrested the so called soldiers.

He was therefore given back his camera but the recorder is still missing.
Speaking to the police spokesperson Supt. Theos Badege, said that he knows the case but what they did as the police was to rescue him from the fighters.
