Anklagemyndigheden ved Den Internationale Straffedomstol (ICC) i Haag har udskudt retssagen mod Kenyas præsident, Uhuru Kenyatta, på ubestemt tid. Hvilket vurderes at betyde, at den helt droppes. Sagen har vakt vrede rundt om i Afrika.
ICC (International Criminal Court) chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said she still did not have enough evidence to proceed with the trial, which was due to resume next month, BBC online reports Friday.
The trial has already been delayed several times, with key witnesses pulling out.
Mr Kenyatta, elected in 2013, denies organising ethnic massacres after the 2007 election. He is charged with crimes against humanity after some 1,200 people were killed and 600,000 driven from their homes.
Africa’s leaders have accused the ICC of only investigating alleged atrocities in Africa. Ms Bensouda, a Gambian national, argues that she is standing up for the African victims.
She accused Mr Kenyatta’s government of not supplying information she has requested.
Mr Kenyatta’s lawyers and the victims’ legal representatives, now have until 10 September to respond to the adjournment request.
