San Antonio resident and Hotel Rwanda inspiration Paul Rusesabagina to be freed from prison
After pressure from U.S. officials, San Antonio resident Paul Rusesabagina — the inspiration for the 2004 film Hotel Rwanda — is expected to be released from his years-long imprisonment on Saturday, according to Reuters. Rusesabagina was traveling to the East African nation of Burundi for a speaking engagement in August 2020 when Rwandan security forces arrested him during a layover in Dubai. He was later handed a 25-year prison sentence for terrorism-related charges against Rwandan dictator Paul Kugame's regime, according to the Dallas Morning News.
