Should law enforcement agencies continue to parade crime suspects to the media when they haven't been convicted?
Rwanda Investigation Bureau(RIB) and other law enforcement agencies normally parade crime suspects whom they have caught. Is this behavior lawful and should it be tolerated?

Definitely agree with the exoneration statement to repair the damages made to the individual's reputation. I feel like this problem hits at a question I have been wondering about, "does the law really treat people as innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt?" or is there a misconception in how Rwandan law works?
Parading is not a Rwanda-only thing. It's done in many other countries too.
If parading suspects is believed to be necessary either as a deterrent or anything it should be accompanied by a statement of exoneration for individuals who are found innocent by the courts.
Being a suspect does not imply guilt. Personal privacy should remain anonymous during an investigation until a trial occurs.
