Paul Rusesabagina who is facing 13 charges including terrorism will have to go into a stand trial as his request for bail in the Kigali court was denied for the second time on Friday. The court assumed that if on bail, the accused might escape again.

Rusesabagina inspired a 2004 Hollywood movie- ‘Hotel Rwanda’ with his efforts to refuge hundreds of Tutsis during the 1994 genocide in Rwanda. However being a strong critique of the government, the multiple peace price winner has been declared a terrorist in Rwanda.

After exiling away from his homeland for years, Paul Rusesabagina was allegedly arrested in murky circumstances and bought to Kigali. His family argues the former hotel manager was kidnapped and is being falsely charged for terrorism, financing and founding militant groups, murder, arson and conspiracy to involve children in armed groups.

The 66-year-old was denied bail in a lower court but he appealed the decision, citing poor health.However Judge Adolphe Udahemuka said Rusesabagina was receiving fine medical care in Rwanda, and deemed he was a flight risk as he holds Belgian citizenship.

“The court therefore finds the reasons provided by the suspect in seeking to be tried while not in custody not convincing. The court dismisses his appeal, and rules that the suspect remains in custody pending trial,” Udahemuka said.

Rusesabagina’s lawyer, Emeline Nyembo, said they would begin preparing his legal defence.

“Unfortunately we can’t appeal against this ruling. We will continue pushing for his release but now we prepare for the substantive phase of the trial,” she told reporters after the ruling.

The president has been in power since 1994 and is accused by critics of crushing opponents and ruling through fear.

Rusesabagina’s family, who say he would never have returned to Rwanda by his own free will, claim his lawyers were not of his choosing, and have accused his legal team of acting for the state.

“My dad is surrounded by people who want him to fall,” his son Tresor Rusesabagina said Thursday.

It remains unclear how Rusesabagina — a moderate Hutu who left Rwanda in 1996, wary that space for political opposition was shrinking — wound up in handcuffs in Kigali and paraded before cameras.

In an interview with The New York Times, Rusesabagina, speaking with Rwandan officials in the room, said he boarded a private jet in Dubai which he thought was taking him to Burundi, but landed in Kigali instead.
