KIGALI , Sept 20 — A court is set to deliver its verdict today against Paul Rusesabagina, the “Hotel Rwanda” hero turned government critic who is charged with terrorism in a trial supporters say is politically motivated.
His family say Rusesabagina was kidnapped and dismiss the nine charges against him, including terrorism, as payback by a vengeful government for his outspoken views. US rights group the Lantos Foundation this month urged Britain to reject the credentials of Kigali’s new ambassador to London, Johnston Busingye, saying that when he was justice minister he played a “key role in the extraordinary rendition and kidnapping” of Rusesabagina.
He accused Kagame of authoritarian tendencies and left Rwanda in 1996, living in Belgium and then the United States. Prosecutors in June said Rusesabagina “encouraged and empowered the fighters to commit those terrorist acts”.
