Rwandan lawmakers have criticised the European Union Parliament for calling for the release of "Hotel Rwanda" hero Paul Rusesabagina, terming the resolution “imperialistic” and politically motivated.
During a day-long virtual plenary joint session in the Rwandan Parliament on Monday, both parliamentarians and senators said the EU parliamentary resolution interferes with Kigali’s sovereignty, promotes genocide denial and undermines the country’s independent judiciary.
