My father, Paul Rusesbagina, known for his bravery in the movie Hotel Rwanda was kidnapped, tortured, illegally detained in Rwanda (2020-2023) because he called the world to pay attention to Kagame’s dictatorship. While in prison, our family relentlessly advocated for his freedom and the gov’t of Rwanda used PEGASUS to surveil us and track our every move. Our story is sadly not unique, many Rwandans have been persecuted by Kagame, a darling of the west.
