The 66-year-old Paul Rusesabagina, once praised for saving hundreds of ethnic Tutsis from Rwanda's 1994 genocide while a hotel manager, faces nine charges. A special chamber of Rwanda's High Court ruled Wednesday that Rusesabagina was tricked into coming back to Rwanda but not kidnapped, and the country's laws are silent on arrests under such circumstances. The court ruled that authorities followed the law after Rusesabagina arrived in Rwanda. (Chris Pizzello/The Associated Press)Rusesabagina's family says he has no chance at a fair trial because of his outspoken criticism of Rwandan president Paul Kagame and human rights abuses. The Oscar-nominated 2004 film Hotel Rwanda starred Don Cheadle as Rusesabagina.
