ICC Names 2007 Kenyan Elections Violators

 

The International Criminal Court, ICC, has announced the names of six Kenyans accused of being masterminds of the violence that followed the disputed 2007 elections.

The prosecutor at the Court said each of the six will be served with a court summons, but if they fail to turn up, ICC prosecutor, Moreno Ocampo will request arrest warrants.

Over one thousand two hundred people were reportedly killed and over half a million displaced in the 2007 violence.

In the peace deal that followed, it was agreed that the perpetrators of the violence would face justice either in Kenya or at the ICC at The Hague .
