Umurabyo Editor Uwimana Nkusi Released From Prison

The Editor of Umurabyo newspaper Agnes Uwimana Nkusi was released on Wednesday after successfully completing four years in jail.

“I am very happy to get out of jail and I will continue my career,” she told reporters as she left jail, adding she would continue to write critical articles of the government.

She added, “I’m not afraid because of my four-year sentence…I have no regrets, I am determined to do my job until I die.”

Her sentence of 17 years was cut to four in 2012, after the supreme court cleared her of genocide denial and promoting ethnic divisions.
