Russell Brooks, spokesperson for the U.S. State Department Bureau of African Affairs, reiterated the American position after Sinduhije was charged. "It remains our hope that the government of Burundi will work to advance the cause of political freedom and speech in Burundi, and allow all of its citizens to exercise universally recognized rights."
