Paul Rusesabagina, the man who inspired the Hollywood film Hotel Rwanda, is being held on terrorism and other charges in his homeland, after what human rights observers have deemed a forced disappearance.Rwandan authorities accuse Paul Rusesabagina of a range of crimes including terrorism, murder and arson
Mr Rusesabagina's legal team, which has not been able to speak with him, believes he boarded a private plane operated by GainJet, which has been used by the Rwandan government and has an office in Kigali. "He got here on the basis of what he believed and wanted to do, and he found himself here … that's how it happened."
Human Rights Watch said Rwandan authorities should urgently explain how he was apprehended and taken to the East African country. They point to a video posted online in 2018 in which he expresses support for the National Liberation Front and says "the time has come for us to use any means possible to bring about change in Rwanda, as all political means have been tried and failed".Human Rights Watch for years has documented cases of critics of Rwanda's Government being killed overseas, apprehended under unclear circumstances or dying behind bars.
