Hotel Rwanda hero kidnapped from Dubai, says daughter
Paul Rusesabagina, who appeared in handcuffs in Kigali on Monday, has been living outside Rwanda since 1996
The man portrayed in the film Hotel Rwanda as saving the lives of more than 1,200 people from genocide was “kidnapped” while in Dubai, his daughter has said.
The appearance of Paul Rusesabagina in handcuffs in Rwanda’s capital, Kigali, on Monday prompted concern among some human rights activists who worried that the outspoken critic of Rwanda’s government was the latest example of officials targeting dissidents beyond the country’s borders. He had been living outside Rwanda since 1996, first in Belgium and then in Texas in the US.
