The US, where Paul Rusesabagina has a residence, has declined to respond to questions by The EastAfrican seeking comment on his arrest and impending prosecution.

Belgium, whose citizenship the Hotel Rwanda film hero holds, has remained tight-lipped on the matter and only issued a statement stating that it was not involved in his arrest.
