The ratification of an extradition agreement between Rwanda and Mozambique has been referred to as “frightening” by refugees from that country living there.
A representative for the refugees said he thought it would be applied to target opponents of the Kigali government.
In recent years, southern Africa has seen the murder of several Rwandan dissidents.
One was shot dead in the capital of Mozambique two years ago, and another was discovered floating in the water there in 2012.
An Islamist insurgency is being fought in Mozambique with the assistance of Rwandan troops.
