It could very well be that the Rwanda of the genocidal maniac Paul Kagame had the most brutal corona lockdown in the whole wide world.
The Rwandan police has arbitrarily locked up tens of thousands of people in stadiums, accusing them of violating "public health measures", without legal grounds or trails.
The Rwandan government is especially rough on dissidents criticising the draconian lockdown or Kagame in general.
At least 8 people were threatened, arrested, and/or prosecuted by Rwandan authorities in a year after complaining on the current state of affairs in Rwanda on YouTube. In February 2021, singer and poet Innocent Bahati went "missing". Bahati's poems posted on YouTube, focused on social issues like growing poverty or the harsh lockdown and its impact.
The combination of threats, vaguely defined offenses, and disproportionate prison sentences have created an environment of censorship even more extreme than in the "developed" world (sadly this censorship is supported by HRW).
In 2018, legislation was adopted in Rwanda that makes it illegal to "Affirm that there was a double genocide, providing wrong statistics about victims of the genocide and distort the facts about genocide for the purpose of misleading the public”.
This makes it illegal to describe the crimes by the RPF before, during and after the 1994 "Rwandan genocide", punishable by up to 7 years in prison and a fine of at least 500,000 Rwandan Francs ($500).
On 8 May 2019, President Kagame gave a chilling threat to those criticising this psychopath on online platforms:
