Police said that no charges were brought against the two protesters from the meeting. During the formal question and answer session, held after President Kagame had concluded his address, Greg Stanton, a representative from Genocide Watch, brought up Zaire again. He said two people were detained while traveling through Rwanda to receive medical attention in northern Africa, and that five other people have disappeared. The only reason these people have been arrested, Stanton said, is that they are strong protesters against the Rwandan occupation of the eastern Congo. It is true that individual cases of violations of human rights have taken place.
Murphy notes that the people who interrupted the president's speech had made their point.
I think they are important issues and we shouldn't pretend that they're not there. President Kagame handled it very well. I'm glad he didn't change his speech to answer the question. When you're being disruptive, it's no longer free speech. I think the university was correct in having them leave.
