U.S. Rep. Joaquin Castro helped author a resolution passed Thursday calling for the hero's release.
Known for his efforts to shelter Hutu and Tutsi refugees while managing the Hotel des Mille Collines during the Rwandan Genocide, Paul Rusesabagina left the East African nation in 1996 after being granted asylum in Belgium. Rusesabagina later relocated with his family to San Antonio., turning up days later as a prisoner in Rwanda.
"Mr. Rusesabagina is a cancer survivor in poor health, and he needs better medical care than Rwandan authorities are providing," Castro said in a statement."If President Kagame and the Rwandan government want to rebuild their credibility on the international stage, they must start by sending Mr. Rusesabagina back home to his family in San Antonio."
