About this statute

This provision says the law’s purpose is to fight and punish acts of terrorism. This article defines key terms used in the law on terrorist acts and related concepts. If there are reasons to suspect terrorist acts or incitement to terrorism, the Rwanda Investigation Bureau may cordon off the suspected area. A competent cordoning authority may order people to leave a cordoned off area and may block pedestrians or motor vehicles from entering it. A prosecutor empowered by the Prosecutor General signs arrest or search warrants for terrorist suspects, and any verbal authorisation must be confirmed in writing within 24 hours.
