NETHERLANDS: Dutch police search home of Rwandan opposition leader: At the request of the Rwandan government, Dutch police searched the house of opposition leader Victoire Ingabire in Zevenhuizen on Monday 13 December. Ingabire lived there as a refugee, but returned to Rwanda to participate in the presidential elections in January 2010. She was arrested and kept prisoner since. Her husband and 8 year old son were present in the house, and were forbidden to use a phone during the search. A lawyer for Ingabire declares the invasion 'embarrassing and illegal'. "The Netherlands are collaborating with the dictatorship of Kagame". See: Volkskrant (link)
