Man Who Inspired 'Hotel Rwanda' Convicted On Terror Charges

Paul Rusesabagina has so far been convicted of the formation of an illegal armed group, membership in a terrorist group and financing a terror group.

A court in Rwanda says the man who inspired “Hotel Rwanda,” Paul Rusesabagina, has been found guilty of terror-related offenses.

Rusesabagina boycotted Monday’s announcement after declaring he didn’t expect justice in a trial he called a “sham.”

He has so far been convicted of the formation of an illegal armed group, membership in a terrorist group and financing a terror group. The verdict is still being read out on charges of murder, abduction, and armed robbery as an act of terrorism. He was charged along with 20 other people.
