The man who inspired the Hollywood film ‘Hotel Rwanda’ has gone on trial in Kigali, charged with terrorism and murder.
Paul Rusesabagina is a businessman who was lauded for saving hundreds of lives during the 1994 Rwandan genocide.
He has been a long-time critic of President Paul Kagame and had been living away from East Africa before suddenly appearing in the Rwandan capital under arrest last year.
