An incident in which street children suspected of petty theft were burnt to death last weekend has prompted the Rwandan government to renew warnings to the public against acts of violence and mob justice.
The country stands out in the region for its low to almost zero cases of mob justice. However, the incident, in which a group of street children were burnt to death in a drainage tunnel by security guards and night watchmen last Friday morning has shocked many.
