Ex-hotelier whose actions saved lives during 1994 genocide has sentence for terrorism charges commuted
Paul Rusesabagina, a businessman whose role in saving more than 1,000 lives during the 1994 Rwandan genocide inspired the film, is to be released from prison on Saturday after his 25-year sentence on terrorism charges was commuted.
Washington designated him as “wrongly detained”, partly because of what it called the lack of fair trial guarantees. “Under Rwandan law, commutation of sentence does not extinguish the underlying conviction,” Makolo said. “Rwanda notes the constructive role of the US government in creating conditions for dialogue on this issue, as well as the facilitation provided by the state of Qatar.”
