Paul Rusesabagina, whose true life story of how he saved
hundreds of Rwandans during the genocide in the country inspired a
Hollywood Movie Hotel Rwanda, has been arrested on terrorism
charges.
Rusesabagina was said to have hid people in the hotel he managed
at the time.
The Hutu native, who became well known after the movie was
released, is wanted for a score of serious crimes.
He has been accused of being the founder of the National
Liberation Forces (FLN), ”an armed terrorist organisation” under
his Rwandan Movement for Democratic Change (MRCD).
Currently, the Rwandan Government is arresting and trying
dozens of FLN members for war crimes and other violations committed
on Rwandan territory including murder.
Callixte Nsabimana one of the FLN leaders is also undergoing
trial in Rwanda.

According to the country’s bureau of Investigation, Rusesabagina
was arrested “through international cooperation” after
an international warrant was issued. He is now in police
custody in Kigali, Rwanda’s capital.
Although, Rusesabagina has received several human rights
awards for his efforts during the genocide, including the US
Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005, he has not lived in Rwanda
since 1996 when he survived an assassination attempt.
