location: Ruyaga
notes: A man (a taxi driver) visiting his wife who had just given birth at the Ruyaga Health Centre was beaten with belts and fists and feet by the head of the police station; he was kept in custody until the morning of Tuesday, August 9. The station chief and his guard first searched the taxi drivers car before hitting him with an object; nothing compromising was found in his car. The police asked the driver to bring his vehicle to the police station; the driver objected, saying he saw no reason. As a result, the man was beaten in front of his two children; he was taken to jail at the police station despite his poor health. He was released on Wednesday, August 10.
