Hotel Rwanda film hero Paul Rusesabagina insists he is not a Rwandan citizen and should be tried as a Belgian, in the hope that he could be arraigned outside Rwanda.

Mr Rusesabagina appeared at the Kicukiro Primary Court in Kigali on Tuesday where prosecutors appealed that he be remanded for another 30 days, four days after the previous order for his remand expired.
