May 1,2022 1:55 am

Paul Rusesabagina , a former Hotel Manager portrayed as a hero in the Hollywood film Hotel Rwanda , is to be released from prison in Kigali.

Two years ago, by a Rwandan court in what supporters called a sham trial.

A government spokesperson said Mr Rusesabagina's sentence had been " commuted by presidential order".

Mr Rusesabagina, 68, is credited with saving some 1,200 people during the 1994 genocide.

In a statement His Family told The Bbc : " We Are pleased to hear The News about Paul's release. The Family is hopeful to reunite with him soon. "

There have been international calls for Mr Rusesabagina's release, especially from the United States , where he had lived since 2009. The Biden administration has said he was " wrongfully detained".

His Family say the Rwandan government lured him from Texas, where he had permanent residency, back to Rwanda in 2020.

Mr Rusesabagina left Rwanda in 1996. His story remained largely unknown for a decade, while he worked as a Taxi Driver in the Belgian capital, Brussels.

It was featured in a section of journalist Philip Gourevitch 's 1998 book about the genocide, but it was the 2004 Hollywood movie, where he was Played By Don Cheadle , that brought him global attention.

The Rwandan Genocide lasted 100 Days from April 1994, when 800,000 people, mostly from the Tutsi Ethnic Group , were slaughtered by extremists from the Hutu community.

Mr Rusesabagina - a Hotel Manager at The Time - Protected some 1,200 people from the violence, after they sought shelter in The Building .

The Following year he was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom by then-US President George W Bush for his efforts. But he became a fierce critic of Rwanda's President Paul Kagame .

In a 2018 video message, Mr Rusesabagina called for a regime change, saying that " The Time has come for us to use any means possible to bring about change in Rwanda".

He was arrested in 2020, when, according to his supporters, a private jet he believed would take him to Burundi, instead landed in the Rwandan capital Kigali.

In September 2021 he was found guilty of backing a rebel group behind deadly attacks in 2018 and 2019 in Rwanda.
