Kuri we, Polisi y’u Rwanda igomba guhaguruka ikarwanya ahakigaragara ibyo bikorwa bihabanye n’amahame n’amategeko y’Umuryango mpuzamahanga.

U Rwanda rubinyujije mu nzego zarwo harimo na Polisi y’u Rwanda rwiyemeje kubahiriza amahame yo kubaha uburenganzira bwa muntu turengera abasivili ahagaragara ihohotera n’amakimbirane.”
