A court will Monday deliver its verdict against Paul Rusesabagina, the "Hotel Rwanda" hero-turned government critic who is charged with terrorism in a trial supporters say is politically motivated.

Rwandan prosecutors have sought a life sentence for Rusesabagina, the 67-year-old former hotelier credited with saving hundreds of lives during the 1994 Genocide against the Tutsi, and whose actions inspired the Hollywood film.
