NAIROBI, Sept 2 - The family of Paul Rusesabagina - hailed a hero in a Hollywood movie about Rwanda's 1994 genocide - has demanded that authorities in Kigali charge him in an international court after his sudden detention, his son told Reuters on Wednesday.
Rusesabagina, a former hotel manager, was played by Don Cheadle in the Oscar-nominated film 'Hotel Rwanda', which told how he used his job and his connections with the Hutu elite to protect Tutsis fleeing the slaughter.
