In prison, a hotel Rwanda hero suffered a stroke, according to his daughter.

Paul Rusesabagina, the subject of the Oscar-nominated film Hotel Rwanda, has suffered a stroke while serving time in a Rwandan prison for terrorism, according to his daughter.

Last year, he was sentenced to 25 years in prison in a fake trial, according to supporters.

They are now attempting to sue Rwanda for claimed kidnapping and torture.

"My father is currently ill. He is being denied proper medical care, and he has had a stroke while incarcerated "Carina Kanimba spoke to the BBC's Focus on Africa radio station.

She went on to say, "Now he has partial facial paralysis."

Rusesabagina was not kidnapped, according to Rwanda, and he was given a fair trial.
