卢旺达前总统卫队指挥官Tom Byabagamba在狱中去世，终年59岁1。其兄弟、流亡异见人士David Himbara于周二在社交平台X上发表声明，公布了这一死讯1。目前，卢旺达当局尚未对此事作出回应1。

Byabagamba于2010年被免去总统卫队指挥官职务1。2014年8月，他遭到拘押1。2016年，军事高等法院以煽动叛乱和损害政府形象等罪名判处其数年监禁1。2019年，上诉法院将其最初21年的刑期减至15年1。此外，另一名军官Frank Rusagara准将也于去年在狱中死亡1。

Tom Byabagamba, the former commander of Rwanda’s presidential guard, died in prison at the age of 59 1. The news was announced on Tuesday by his brother, David Himbara, an exiled dissident, in a statement on X 1. Rwandan authorities have not yet commented on his death 1.

Prior to his imprisonment, Byabagamba was dismissed as commander of the presidential guard in 2010 1. He was detained in August 2014 and, in 2016, a high military court convicted him on charges including inciting insurrection and tarnishing the government's image 1. Although he was initially given a 21-year prison sentence, an appeals court reduced his term to 15 years in 2019 1. His death comes after another military officer, Brig. Frank Rusagara, died in prison last year 1.
