Rwanda continues to make progress on development, but this has not been accompanied by greater respect for political and civil liberties. Political space and free speech remain severely restricted following the 2010 elections. Critics of the government, including opposition politicians and journalists, are frequently threatened, and several have been arrested and prosecuted for expressing their opinions. Government hostility towards human rights defenders has severely limited the scope for Rwandan civil society organizations to report on human rights violations. Community-based gacaca courts have almost finished trying a huge caseload of genocide-related cases. Future cases are expected to be handled by the conventional courts. Despite a number of legal reforms, concerns about unfair trials remain, especially in politically sensitive cases.
