Abstract
A Rwandan opposition activist was last week handed a jail sentence in the United Kingdom after he was convicted for stealing from a Catholic Church cathedral. Before he was exposed, Mugenzi was a darling of the media in the western world. He was branded a human rights champion and they took for gospel truth, the lies he fed them about the government of Rwanda. The same western media and some of the so-called human rights promoters do not learn from this; they will simply recoil and jump to the next fraudster.
