Rwandan hotelier Paul Rusesabagina who shot to fame after the 2004 film "Hotel Rwanda" sued a Greek air charter company in the United States for helping Rwandan agents kidnap him, which led to his arrest.
The outspoken Rwandan government critic has been detained since August after he boarded a flight from the US for what he believed was a speaking event in Burundi.
But he was flown to Rwanda, where he was arrested on arrival in Kigali.
On Monday, he sued the Greek air charter company GainJet Aviation for helping Rwandan agents kidnap him. He also sued Constantin Niyomwungere, a Rwandan secret service agent who double-crossed Rusesabagina into the Burundi event, of conspiring with GainJet and of violating American anti-terrorism and terror-victims’ rights laws.
