Family and supporters of Paul Rusesabagina, an activist depicted in the Oscar-nominated film Hotel Rwanda, are decrying as a sham his terrorism trial that began this week. He was one of 20 defendants appearing before a judge in a courtroom outside Kigali.
"These are defendants who are on trial for their lives and possibly life imprisonment," said Brian Endless, a professor at Loyola University-Chicago's Political Science Department who has worked with Rusesabagina's foundation. "Most importantly, there were no lawyers next to them to assist in their defense. Their lawyers were kept in the back of the room. And just the physical dynamics of that were, kind of, incredible to see."
