'Hotel Rwanda' Hero Paul Rusesabagina Released from Prison

TL;DR
President Biden thanked Rwanda's government for releasing Paul Rusesabagina, who inspired the film "Hotel Rwanda," and allowing him to return to his family in the U.S. Rusesabagina had his 25-year sentence for terrorism offenses commuted by presidential order after a request for clemency. Rusesabagina inspired the 2004 film "Hotel Rwanda" for saving hundreds of people from genocide. He was convicted of eight charges, including membership in a terrorist group, murder and abduction, in a trial that has been widely criticized by the U.S. and others.
