***RED ALERT 001/2001***

PRESIDENT PAUL KAGAME MIGHT BE PLOTTING TO ASSASSINATE MM PASTEUR BIZIMUNGU AND CHARLES NTAKIRUTANKA

ARENA would like to inform Rwandans and the international community that it has obtained credible information that President Paul Kagame might be plotting to assassinate the former President of Rwanda, Mr. Pasteur Bizimungu and a former Minister, M. Charles Ntakirutinka.

We call on all human rights organizations to strongly condemn the terror that the Kagame regime applies to the Rwandan people in general, and to those with differing views in particular.  We appeal to all countries to exert maximum pressure on the Kagame regime to cease its human rights abuses and its campaign to assassinate political opponents.

ARENA is issuing this first RED ALERT in order to prevent the assassination of these two individuals.  We remind President Kagame that he is responsible for their safety, and warn him that he will be held accountable for whatever happens to them.

ARENA will continue to issue these alerts when reliable information warrants it.  It is imperative that we all act urgently to prevent the Kigali regime from claiming any more innocent lives.
