Human rights advocate whose life was reshaped by injustice. In 2020, her father, Paul Rusesabagina — whose story inspired the film Hotel Rwanda — was lured onto a plane and forcibly taken to Rwanda, imprisoned on terrorism charges. Carine led the international #FreeRusesabagina campaign, testifying before the U.S. Congress and the European Parliament, and helped secure his release in 2023. Along the way, she discovered her own phone had been infected with Pegasus spyware while lobbying officials across Europe.
