28 June 2022
A Rwandan court sentenced a Chinese citizen to 20 years in prison for tortures, after the man appeared in a video beating a former African employee tied to a tree. The incident, which took place in the Rutsiro district, Rwanda, is the latest episode of violence involving Chinese mines in Africa. According to a report by the Business and Human Rights Resource Center, 181 human rights abuses related to Chinese investments in Africa were recorded between 2013 and 2020.
