Rwandan refugees and asylum seekers in Mozambique  have voiced concern at the ratification of an extradition treaty between the two African countries, raising fears it will be used to persecute dissidents.

The text initially signed in Kigali in June was formally approved by the Mozambican government on Tuesday, paving the way for ratification by parliament. The Rwandan senate ratified the treaty earlier this week.

Several thousand Rwandan refugees live in Mozambique, according to United Nations figures. Lulu Gaboo spoke to Channel Africa's correspondent Miton Maluleque about the issue.
