On September 20, local time, a Rwandan court ruled on the case of Paul Ruse Sabagina, the protagonist of the well-known movie "Hotel Rwanda", and found 20 co-defendants, including Ruse Sabagina, guilty of "participating in a terrorist organization". The court did not release the sentencing result that day, but according to the prosecution's request for prosecution, Ruce Sabajina could be sentenced to life imprisonment at most.
Judge Beatrice Mukamurenzi said the court found them guilty of participating in the terrorist group Movement for Democratic Change-National Liberation Front of Rwanda and injuring others in other people's homes, cars or even road trips.
Ruce Sabajina, 67, had lived abroad for a long time before his arrest. The film "Hotel Rwanda", which is said to be based on his experiences, tells the story of the protagonist, who is the manager of the hotel, protects many innocent people from being killed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. However, the authenticity of Ruse Sabajina's experience has been questioned in Rwanda, and holocaust survivors believe that the content is untrue.
Last August, the Rwandan Bureau of Investigation announced the arrest of Ruse Sabagina at Kigali International Airport, saying he was internationally wanted on suspicion of terrorism, arson, kidnapping, murder and injury of innocent civilians, linked to two attacks in southern Rwanda in 2018.
