CARINA TERTSAKIAN : PATHOLOGICAL HATRED FOR RWANDA

 Ladislas NGENDAHIMANA

Carina has consistently demonstrated pathological hatred for Rwanda. This is the reminiscent of HRW which she represented in Rwanda in 2010. In her book le “Chateau: The Lives of Prisoners in Rwanda”,  she argues that in “In Rwanda, every aspect of prison life is defined by overcrowding.  The standard width of a prisoner’s living space is 40 centimeters.  The prisoners call this their “château”, their castle.  Many prisoners sleep outside, exposed to the sun and the rain.  Family visits last just three minutes”.

According to ICRC assessment of Prisons situation in Rwanda, the prison occupancy is 120 percent while prison occupancy of most European countries is over 125percent. The Rwandan standards in terms of occupancy, aeration, nutrition and many other indices are above international set standards. This informed the grounds on which the international criminal tribunal of Sierra Leone chose Rwanda as the best place for their prisoners. Indeed, Rwanda is keeping 8 of Sierra Leone prisoners.

Carina is a renown advocate of the extremists, genocide negationists and terrorists like FDRL (a recognized terrorist group), FDU and others. All these go along with her questionable personal integrity.

Carina TERTSAKIAN is characterized by ethical deficit. She used forged documents from HRW in order to secure a work permit and a visa from Rwanda migration services which resulted into her expulsion from the country in April 2010.
