国际刑事法庭把6名肯尼亚人确定为该国2008年爆发的选举后暴力事件的嫌疑人，其中包括几名高级官员
国际刑事法庭的首席检察官莫雷诺-奥坎波星期三要求法院对这些嫌疑人提出包括谋杀、迫害和强奸罪名的指控。奥坎波提出的嫌犯包括肯尼亚财政部长肯雅塔和工业部长科斯盖。国际刑事法庭必须决定是否起诉这些嫌犯。奥坎波之前已经表示，这些嫌犯被认为对导致1千3百人死亡的动乱负有“最大责任”。
在齐贝吉总统被宣布为2007年底总统选举的获胜者之后，肯尼亚爆发了暴乱和民族屠杀事件。他的对手奥廷加及其支持者指责总统通过舞弊而窃取了那次选举。
The International Criminal Court has named six Kenyans as suspects in the country’s 2008 post-election violence, including several top officials.
Chief Prosecutor Luis Moreno-Ocampo asked the court Wednesday to charge the suspects with crimes including murder, persecution and rape. Among those Ocampo named were finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta and industrialization minister Henry Kosgey. The ICC must decide whether to indict the suspects. Ocampo has said the suspects are considered “most responsible” for the unrest that killed about 1,300 people.
Kenya erupted in riots and ethnic killings after President Mwai Kibaki was proclaimed the winner of the late 2007 presidential election. Opponent Raila Odinga and his supporters accused the president of stealing the election through fraud.
