12:03 pm
to the system, or for wonder of the dictatorship or that's why the, there's something that i've been fighting for human rights and wonderful democracy in rwanda and busy her needs. and for to become fiction rather excite nearly 20 as earlier he became famous when the hollywood film her tal. rhonda told his story, his credited with saving more than 1200 lives during rendezvous 1994 genocide. more than half a 1000000 tutsis and many his were killed by a who to militia during a civil war. the rondon patriotic front led by poor guy may want the war and took power. cook, i'm a late to became president and recess of argona became his critic. rhonda accused him of supporting an armed creep that wanted to overthrow the government. we have maintained or serious concerns about this case, especially as with regards on punk political violence. but i'm groups including
12:04 pm
those that are led by people operating from developed countries. but we have a now agreed on no one on, on the fundamental principles. and are we able to, to, to move forward with this sir humanitarian release, recessive. again a has belt and citizenship and was a resident of the u. s. 3 years ago, he was deceived into boarding a plane in to buy and later appeared in wanda's capital kigali in handcuffs. write scripts say he was kidnapped. rwanda's government says his sentence has been commuted after a presidential order. barbara and copa, alto, sarah, us, president joe biden, welcome this news saying quote, false family is eager to welcome him back to the united states and i share their joy. today's good news. you also think that there were wanting governments for making the reunion possible as well as guitar and

12:06 pm
or pardoning his conviction. so the conviction remains on the books, his sentence is commuted. he is going to go to doha soon, and then we'll move to the united states to reside there. what seems to be the key element is a change in stamp, from the u. s. government about how it was approaching president, gama, and so, rather than raining recess a given as a wrongly detained person that's invalidating the legitimacy of his conviction. i think the white house, my sources tell me the white house reached out to find a different path that would not undermine the solvency of rwanda as concerns about security and terrorism. and the death of civilians that they felt was tied to some of recessive beginners associations. president biden is warning iran that the u. s . will quote act forcefully to protect americans. the u. s. military carried out
