Paul Rusesabagina, the hotel manager who allegedly housed thousands of refugees during the 1994 Rwandan Genocide, is facing terror-related charges in Rwanda that could land him a life sentence.
Rusesabagina did not know that the pastor was working as an informant for the Rwanda Investigation Bureau and had tricked him into boarding a chartered flight to Kigali. Rusesabagina’s international legal team, pointing to publicly available flight records, believes the plane was operated by GainJet, which has been used by the Rwandan government and has an office in Kigali. Rusesabagina's family is suing the Greek air charter company for allegedly helping Rwandan authorities kidnap him. GainJet has not responded to ABC News' requests for comment.
Rusesabagina also said he was unable to stand on his own and that someone had to hold him whenever he needed to defecate.Rusesabagina's son appeared to be overcome with emotion as he read parts of the document aloud during a virtual press conference Tuesday.MORE: Why George Floyd's death reverberated in Africa
The Rwandan government has admitted to paying for the plane that took Rusesabagina to Kigali, but Rwandan President Paul Kagame said there was no wrongdoing because he was"brought here on the basis of what he believed and wanted to do."
Sad
'We are, frankly, afraid for our father’s life,' Rusesabagina's daughter. No sense! You wern't afraid when he celebrated attacks & killing of innocent civilians funded by him .refused to appear in court to avoid embarrassment because of his deeds . Shut up
