The man who saved more than 1200 lives during the Rwandan genocide and inspired the film ‘Hotel Rwanda’, has been released from prison.
Paul Rusesabagina was sentenced to 25-years on terrorism-related charges two years ago.
He is one of several people whose sentences have been commuted after diplomatic efforts by Qatar and the United States.
Al Jazeera’s Barbara Angopa reports.

@Rock Tower don’t lie the world you’re fun of killing machine of Rwanda
@Rock Tower when you want to be a 🐄 you became immediately imagine haw you can refused rusesabagina acts
@Gn rapha I am so glad for the freedom this man Rusesabagina got. I wish him the best. I just heard witnesses and YouTube reports from those who were in that hotel. If those reports are tru, Denying the truth doesn’t make it right. If they are false then the liars will get punished too here on earth or after death. Like all of us.

I love Truth and debates: only Truth is Eternal. Everlasting, Not hate nor fear.
@Rock Tower not a hero at all stop being brain washed
Paul is a hero, may God bless him 🙏🏻🙏🏿
What you talk about ??? Maybe he’s your hero not us
Hero is not personal
Rusebagina is hero believe it or not
This guy Mugenzi doesn’t know what he is talking about. His movement killed people, destroyed property and you’re saying he was fighting for human rights. Get your facts right next time, you sound and look uninformed.
If this guy doesn’t distance himself from those who, in West, pushed him into supporting many armed groups of Genocide-Against-Tutsi- -denials, he will be miserable. Looking for admiration is a trap many Narcisistic fall into.
Pressure
Was innocent
Ruthless dictator kagame is soft now😂😂😂
@_ Trust 1. Nelson Mandela 2.Thomas Sankara 3. Haile salassie 4. Patrice Lumumba 5. Muammar Gaddafi . The list could be endless if you want . We’ve seen leaders like Kagame before who think getting praise by the west is a good thing I can assure you soon as they’re done with him they will toss him aside , African leaders need to build strong relationships with each other not seek approve else where especially from your Colonisers . Why do you think Rwanda was invited to joint the commonwealth in the first place ?
@Keita Olson Nice try… Out of that long list how many are still alive? and how are (were) they able to work with westerns? last but not least, how are those countries with “great presidents” doing right now?
@_ Trust I see history isn’t your strong suit , Pick up a book before you continue to talk nonsense.
@Keita Olson Let’s have an open conversation without your typical shaming tactics- Shall we? Also please stop liking your own comment.
@_ Trust when have I shame you ? I am trying to have an honest conversation but you’re the one who’s incapable of being objective or even answer my question.
Gone are the days of Kagame playing politics based on murder and lies that the United States put an end to. Kagame does not know
time
Its already still exceeds .
This is Rwanda’s Bin Laden. He killed 17 people in southern Rwanda.
Don’t know what the US 🇺🇸 gave Rwanda, but should never have been pardoned
😢a created hero by the west to later distabilise Rwanda under that hollywood star umbrella!!
This fake hero truely charged money people during the Genocide to hide them, he had never been our hero to those of us that were victims of Tusti genocide.
Rusesabagina ❤❤❤❤
Rusesabagina is a hero 🙌 👏 ❤️
Is he Free and innocent?
Best thing Kagame can do now if he was smart is to pass on power, if not he will eventually become a villain, he’s supporter in the west will turn on him like they have done with countless other leaders around the world soon as he’s done being useful to them. he’s done well considering where the country was decades ago , the worse thing any leader can do Is thinking only they’re capable of leadership , he’s already becoming paranoid and overly sensitive to criticism ,that’s how you know you’re becoming a dictator. Trust Rwanda to the Rwandan people , All Rwanda people.
