A Rwandan court has on Wednesday ruled that the trial of Paul Rusesabagina, who faces terrorism among other charges, will be held in his absence after he refused to attend the proceedings.
Mr Rusesabagina and his defence lawyers were not present as the court in Kigali resumed the trial hearings on March 24.
