Harassment in run up to Rwandan elections

[dArKeR]

Days before Rwanda holds it first real presidential election, reports are piling up of police and security agents threatening the opposition as the country's largely government-run media demonizes the leading challenger.

The vote Monday has been billed as a showcase for how far Rwanda has come in the nine years since a genocide shattered the tiny country.

Officials deny the opposition is being harassed or that the media is biased. But foreign observers, diplomats and ordinary Rwandans say otherwise, raising concerns that fear stoked by a government with a strong authoritarian bent and headed by President Paul Kagame, one of the candidates, has poisoned the atmosphere.

When you've seen what happens is a 'democracy' like the U.S. what do you think happens in a country where a leader would do anything to keep power?
