Hague Prosecutors Ask to Delay Opening of Kenyan President’s Trial Hague Prosecutors Ask to Delay Opening of Kenyan President’s Trial
(about 1 hour later)
Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court in The Hague on Friday asked for another delay in starting the trial of President Uhuru Kenyatta of Kenya, saying that they could not proceed because the government had so far refused to hand over most of the information they had requested, including some of Mr. Kenyatta’s telephone and financial records. Mr. Kenyatta, who took office in 2013, is accused of stoking violence after the 2007 election that left more than 1,000 people dead. His trial was to have started last February but it was postponed until Oct. 7 after prosecutors said that key witnesses had been intimidated and access to other witnesses had been blocked. The three judges assigned to the case must decide whether to delay the trial again or end the proceedings for lack of evidence.
