Paul Rusesabagina, the ‘Hotel Rwanda’ film hero, who was arrested early this week to face terror, murder, and arson charges, says he is choosing his defence team to prove his innocence.

In an exclusive interview with The EastAfrican, Mr Rusesabagina, said from his police cell that he has so far been treated “with kindness” and expects to receive justice and a fair trial in Rwanda.
