On November 9, 2005, President George W. Bush awarded Paul Rusesabagina the U.S. Presidential Medal of Freedom for saving the lives of thousands during the 1994 Rwandan genocide. A real-life hero of the acclaimed film Hotel Rwanda and the President and Founder of the Hotel Rwanda Rusesabagina Foundation, Paul served as the Hotel des Mille Collines manager in Kigali. He bravely risked his life to shelter Hutus and Tutsis, seeking refuge from the genocide that killed more than 800,000 people. But, in a bizarre twist of fate, last week, Mr. Rusesabagina was sentenced to 25 years by a Rwandan court that international law experts have repeatedly said was a sham legal proceeding orchestrated by Rwanda's President Paul Kagame, Mr. Rusesabagina's long-time adversary. On this podcast, Jason Poblete speaks with one of Paul's six children, Ms. Anaïse Kanimba, about her father's plight for freedom and justice in Rwanda.
