Let& #39;s correct some facts, NYT:

1. Rusesabagina is not charged with minimizing or denying genocide and never has been.

2. Criminal investigations of him since 2010 have all related to support of illegal armed groups. That& #39;s what he& #39;s on trial for. https://twitter.com/Lattif/status/1312394574330028033">https://twitter.com/Lattif/st...
3. Rusesabagina does not deny forming an armed group (MRCD/FLN). He took credit before his arrest and admitted it again in pre-trial hearings this month. His defense is that he did not personally direct the attacks that killed 9 civilians in 2018. Let& #39;s wait for the trial.
4. Starting in 2007, Rusesabagina began claiming RPF itself had secretly masterminded the genocide against the Tutsi. Yes, GOR contested that. It& #39;s classic genocide denialism and everyone should expect GOR to always label it as such.
