ICC postpones trial of Kenyan president

Issued on:

The International Criminal Court has postponed the trial of Kenyan president Uhuru Kenyatta for alleged crimes against humanity. On Thursday, the chief prosecutor of the ICC, Fatou Bensouda, said there was not enough evidence for the trial to open in February as originally planned. Kenyatta is accused of masterminding ethnic violence after the 2007 presidential elections which left more than 1,000 people dead. RFI spoke to Fergal Gaynor, a lawyer representing 20,000 victims who don't want to see the case dropped.
