Rwanda has pushed back against criticism of the court verdict in the conclusion of the seven-monthlong trial of Paul Rusesabagina at Nyarugenge Court of Justice in Kigali. Rusesabagina was found guilty and handed a 25-year jail term.
Belgium, which is Rusesabagina’s adoptive country since 1996, was the first to complain, saying that his rights were abused throughout the trial.
