Summary
Last week, his lawyers filed a motion to the court alleging that Mr Rusesabagina was being denied necessities such as access to a paper and pen, and that prison officials had confiscated his legal documents.
They also said that he had been denied access to international lawyers as well as privileged phone calls with his lawyers in Kigali, which made him ill prepared for the trial.
