Why This Campaign Exists
Rwanda Freedom of Speech is a non-profit initiative founded by John B. Simbaburanga (@be_johns), a former Rwanda National Police officer who is now an advocate for free expression.
I started this campaign when I realised that from the kings to the presidents, Rwandans have never had a real opportunity to speak freely. Most of the problems Rwanda has faced — and still faces today — are rooted in the lack of freedom of speech.
Where people have the right to express themselves without fear, solutions are found more quickly through open dialogue with the citizens and individuals concerned.
Our work is guided by the lasting principles of Truth, Justice & Peace.
