In a prison on a red dirt road on the outskirts of Rwandan capital Kigali lies a 67-year-old man who used to be a national hero.
He is serving 25 years for ‘terrorism offences’, after family say he was kidnapped while on a flight from Dubai to Burundi and given an unfair trial. His daughter says he is not receiving his medication and has suffered a stroke.
That man is Paul Rusesabagina, once Rwanda’s greatest hero who helped save more than 1,200 people during the 1994 Rwandan genocide by hiding many of them at Kigali’s Hotel des Milles Collines.
