(CNN) Paul Rusesabagina, who saved hundreds of Rwandans during the genocide by sheltering them in the hotel he managed, and saw his story made into the Hollywood film 'Hotel Rwanda', has been arrested on terror related offenses, Rwandan authorities announced.

The country's bureau of Investigation said in a Twitter statement that Rusesabagina was now in their custody after being arrested "through international cooperation." It did not indicate which country helped them with the arrest.

An international warrant was issued for his arrest and he is currently in police custody in Kigali, Rwanda's capital, said the Rwanda Investigation Bureau.

Rusesabagina, 66, is accused of being the "founder, leader and sponsor of violent, armed, extremist terror outfits," the agency said.

Authorities in Belgium, where Rusesabagina has ties, told CNN he was not arrested in the country.

Belgium was "notified" Monday by Rwandan judiciary authorities of the arrest of Paul Rusesabagina, the spokesperson of the Belgian Federal Prosecutor Office, Eric Van Duyse, told CNN via email.

"To the best of our knowledge, he was not arrested in Belgium nor transferred from our country," Van Duyse added.

His supporters, and Rusesabagina himself, have long maintained that he became a target of Paul Kagame's government after sustained criticism of Kagame's government and the conduct of the Rwandan Patriotic Front in ending the genocide in 1994.

Rusesabagina gained prominence during the 1994 Rwandan genocide for saving hundreds of lives.

Around 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were killed in the genocide, which was led by Hutu extremists.

At the time, he was a manager at the Milles Collines hotel where he hid and sheltered people in the luxury hotel.

They survived genocide, now they're teaching vulnerable children to heal using photography

He was the real-life inspiration for the 2004 Hollywood film "Hotel Rwanda," starring Don Cheadle and Sophie Okonedo.

Rusesabagina has not lived in Rwanda since 1996 when he survived an assassination attempt.

He is the recipient of several human rights awards for his efforts during the genocide, including the US Presidential Medal of Freedom in 2005

Paul Rusesabagina - known for saving more than 1,000 people in the hotel he managed during the 1994 Rwandan genocide, a story later told into the Hollywood film Hotel Rwanda - has been arrested on terror charges.

The Rwanda Investigation Bureau (RIB) said in a statement on Monday the 66-year-old government critic had been arrested abroad in an unnamed location on an international warrant and taken to the country to face charges "of serious crime including terrorism, arson, kidnap and murder".

The announcement came as officers brought Rusesabagina - in handcuffs and a face mask - to the RIB's headquarters in the capital, Kigali, where he was shown to the press. Rusesabagina did not speak to the media.

"Rusesabagina is suspected to be the founder, leader, sponsor and member of violent, armed, extremist terror outfits including the Rwanda Movement for Democratic Change [MRCD] operating out of various places in the region and abroad," police said.

The 2004 Oscar-nominated film Hotel Rwanda showed Rusesabagina, a Hutu married to a Tutsi, as using his influence as a manager of the Hotel des Mille Collines, to allow more than 1,200 Tutsis to shelter in the hotel's rooms. In the film, Rusesabagina was played by US actor Don Cheadle.

About 800,000 Tutsis and moderate Hutus were slaughtered in 100 days in Rwanda from April 6.

A well-known critic of President Paul Kagame, Rusesabagina had been living outside Rwanda since 1996, including in Belgium and the United States. He has won several international honours, including the US Presidential Medal of Freedom, which President George W Bush awarded him in 2005.

Back home, however, Rusesabagina remains a "hugely controversial figure" where his status as a rescue hero in 1994 has been contested by a range of actors, according to senior lecturer Nicola Palmer at King's College London.

Rusesabagina has sparked outrage with warnings of another genocide, this time by Tutsis against Hutus, drawing criticism from some genocide survivors and Kagame who accused him of exploiting the genocide for commercial gain.

Rusesabagina has previously denied the government's charges that he financially supports Rwandan rebels and said he was the victim of a smear campaign.

"What is key is that this arrest comes at a time when there have been a large number of international arrest warrants that have been enacted in a range of countries against the Rwandan diaspora", Palmer said, noting that this is the third high profile arrest in the last three months.

"I think what we are seeing is a growing international support for the Rwanda's government in executing international arrest warrants," she added.

During his years abroad, Rusesabagina has also called the government of Kagame - who has been in power since 1994 when his forces overthrew the genocidal regime - a "dictatorship" and urged Western countries to press it to stop violating human rights - allegations the government denies.

Once championed in Western capitals as a reformer, Kagame has been criticised for overseeing constitutional changes to prolong his rule and cracking down on opposition voices.

Wanasema huyo jamaa 'wamemteka' akiwa Dubai,kuna video yake nimeiona inapostiwa kule twitter akiongea kwa kiingereza akipongeza mashambulizi yaliyoua watu kadhaa na kuchoma magari yaliyofanywa na kikundi chake huko Rwanda chini ya yule msemaji wao aliyekua anajiita Major Sankara ambae nae 'walimteka' kule Comoro sasa yuko Kigali akiwa na kesi.

So nadhani yule msemaji wake anayejiita Major Sankara ndie atatumika kumchoma huyo jamaa.

Wazungu kule twitter wamechachamaa balaa kwa hasira,naona wanajibiwa kwa kuwekewa hio video jamaa akipongeza kikundi chake kwa mashambulizi hayo,wanakua wapole.
