Hotel Rwanda 'hero' to be charged with 18 rebel suspects
"Hotel Rwanda" hero Paul Rusesabagina (in pink inmate's uniform) arrives at Nyarugenge Court of Justice in Kigali, Rwanda, on October 2, 2020, surrounded by guards of Rwanda Correctional Service (RCS).
The decision could dent his hopes of distancing himself from acts of the FLN rebel group, which claimed a spate of attacks against Rwanda in 2018.
In videos posted on social media, Mr Rusesabagina pledged his support to the FLN rebel group, which is accused of launching attacks in southern Rwanda and killing nine people, kidnapping others, looting and setting property on fire.
Rwandan prosecutors have filed a request to have “Hotel Rwanda” 'hero' Paul Rusesabagina jointly tried with 18 rebels.
The decision could dent his hopes of distancing himself from acts of the FLN rebel group, which claimed a spate of attacks against Rwanda in 2018.
