The daughters of Paul Rusesabagina (whose story was told in "Hotel Rwanda") plead for their father's release

Jun 17 2022

Paul Rusesabagina's story was brought to the world through the book and movie, Hotel Rwanda. Despite being a Belgian citizen and a US permanent resident, he was kidnapped two years ago and is currently serving a 25-year sentence in Rwanda. According to many organizations and individuals, his only "crime" was to speak out against the Rwandan government. Ahead of a meeting of nation heads in Rwanda next week, his two daughters plead with the international community to take action to free him.
