HC Deb 30 November 1995 vol 267 c819W
Mr. Worthington

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign and Commonwealth Affairs what action has been taken by the international community and the Rwanda Government to improve conditions at Kigali prison. [2556]

Mr. Hanley

The international community provides food and medical treatment for prisoners in Kigali and other prisons in Rwanda. Over 500 women and children have already been transferred from Kigali prison to new facilities or to a new wing within the Kigali prison, built with international funding and the co-operation of the Rwandan Government. Adolescent prisoners and 1,500 adult prisoners are to be transferred to new facilities shortly.
