🇷🇼 Hundreds attend burial of Rwandan government critic
Hundreds of people on Sunday attended the funeral of John Ntwali Williams, a critic of the Rwandan government who died last week in what police say was the result of a road accident in the capital, Kigali.
Rights groups have called for an independent investigation into the circumstance of his death.
The funeral was attended by friends and family alongside local journalists and prominent opposition figures.
Police said Mr Ntwali died on spot in a road accident on Tuesday night when a motorcycle taxi he had boarded was hit by a car. But Human Rights Watch said that “there are many reasons to question” the police narrative and called for an “international expertise to determine whether or not he was murdered”.
