Rwanda's capital Kigali has a pristine image, one often lauded in travel articles in publications around the world.
But this image comes at a cost.
Rwandan authorities are rounding up impoverished street children in Kigali and detaining them in a so-called “transit” center where guards beat them and there isn’t enough food or water.
The kids aren’t given due process, or access to a lawyer or guardian. They are not brought before a judge. Instead they are kept for weeks or months in terrible conditions. And in most cases, they’re released back onto the streets and told they'll be arrested if found again.
