Rwanda opposition complains of oppression ahead of vote

An outlawed opposition party in Rwanda is using the lead-up to Friday's Presidential election to highlight what it says is the brutal oppression of political freedom.

Leaders of the FDU-Inkingi party says members have been tortured and killed.

The government denies the killings took place.

Meanwhile, other opposition parties say they have enjoyed more freedom this election compared to seven years ago.

Al Jazeera's Malcolm Webb reports from the capital, Kigali.

Why don't you report of the murder and torture of black Libyans and Gaddafi supporters since the 2011 foreign intervention that your channel and Qatar supported?

Nobody can stay in power for this long or for as long as Kagame is intending without being a full-blown dictator.
