Tear Off reported that Amnesty International criticized the announcement of a Grand Prix in Rwanda for ten years, presented by Visit Rwanda. According to statements from the organization relayed by Tear Off, the partnership with events and clubs like Arsenal, Aston Villa, the World Cycling Championships, and Formula 1 aimed to improve the country's image and divert attention from its human rights record. Amnesty also believed, according to Tear Off, that F1's comments on the positive role of sport sounded hollow if it ignored the actions of its partners. The organization accused the Rwandan authorities of arbitrary detentions, torture, and repression of freedom of expression. #DroitsHumains #Sportwashing #Rwanda (translated)
