Rwanda's Increasingly Authoritarian Climate
Paul Rusesabagina, who was awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom after saving 1,200 people trapped in his hotel by machete-wielding marauders, was arrested and charged with terrorism earlier this month. To assess this reversal of fortune, Christiane speaks with journalist Anjan Sundaram, who has written extensively about Rwanda's increasingly authoritarian political climate.
