Rwanda editor arrested over press freedom article

The editor-in-chief of a newspaper in Rwanda, Agnès Uwimana Nkusi, has been in custody for five days after she published an open letter to journalists which condemned press freedom violations by the government. The prosecutor has accused Nkusi of "sectarianism" and "discrimination" for the article in the bimonthly paper, Umurabyo. The press watchdog, Reporters without Borders, has called for her release, saying: "In a democracy, it is not the job of the police to regulate the media." (Via AllAfrica.com)
