There is nothing you can do. It was probably bought from a store other than Apple, and it will only work with a US carrier. You can return it to the US, have your brother activate it with a US carrier, then ask the carrier to remove the lock. Most carriers will want the phone to be used on their network for a couple of months before they will agree to.
