Paul Rusesabagina

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paul_Rusesabagina
From the wiki:
"Rusesabagina, a permanent resident of the United States who has not lived in Rwanda since an assassination attempt in 1996,[1][63] had gone on a trip to Dubai shortly before being arrested.[56] In a jailhouse interview with The New York Times, Rusesabagina stated that in Dubai, he boarded a private plane that he thought was bound for Burundi, where he planned to speak at the invitation of a Christian pastor; instead, the plane took him to Kigali.[64] 
In October 2020, the Rwandan Prosecution Authority announced that they would try Rusesabagina along with 16 alleged rebels.[65] His trial was initially scheduled for the 26 January 2021, but was postponed due to ongoing complications with the Covid-19 situation in Kigali. The new date is set for February 17.[66]"
 
If one recall's the 2004 film: "Hotel Rwanda"

Even the European Union will take steps it seems and as he has Belgian citizenship, Belgium is also involved in this "delicate" Belgian/Rwandan political relationship...
