Bob Rugurika - "Freedom of expression is my identity".
Bob Rugurika is a Burundian journalist and the director of Radio Publique Africaine (RPA), a private radio station renowned for its human rights reporting.

Released on bail in February 2015, he was forced into exile due to government repression. Bob Rugurika is today a powerful and respected voice in the fight for press freedom and human rights in Burundi.
