After a seven-months long trial in Kigali, Paul Rusesabagina will know his fate on Monday September 20, 2021, when a judge will rule the nine terrorism-related charges against him.

Rusesabagina, the controversial man who inspired the film Hotel Rwanda, is not expected to attend the verdict hearing, as he continues to boycott the trial after calling it biased.
