Amnesty International is concerned for the safety of Major Félicien Ngirabatware, Damien Musayidizi, Dr. Leonard Hitimana, Augustin Cyiza and Elizier Runyaruka, who were arrested or are feared disappeared. They were targeted in the run-up to the 2003 presidential and parliamentary elections, partly because they were believed to pose a threat as opposition candidates or campaigners to the current Rwandan Patriotic Front (RPF) government.
