Paul Rusesabagina, the man who inspired the acclaimed 2004 film “Hotel Rwanda” is due to hear his verdict on Monday, after spending more than a year behind bars.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He and his 20 co-defendants are accused of terrorism-related offences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Mr Rusesabagina is the former hotelier whose efforts to save more than 1,200 people during the country\u2019s genocide were depicted in the Hollywood blockbuster.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He later became a critic of the government of President Paul Kagame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
He ended up being charged and jailed in Rwanda after being allegedly abducted from Dubai. Rwanda has denied that he was kidnapped.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
His daughter Carine Karimba told the BBC Newsday programme that they were not expecting any justice from the Rwandan system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“We know that my father will be found guilty… We do not have any hope in the Rwandan justice system…our hope is in the international justice, the international community,” she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
“My father has been treated unfairly. All of my father’s basic human rights have been violated… We knew that there would never be a fair trial for my father and now the world knows too,” she added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
