Kenya - ICC

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has ruled that four senior Kenyan officials are to stand trial over violence after the 2007 election.

Those who will be tried are finance minister Uhuru Kenyatta and cabinet secretary Francis Mutaura. They are accused of crimes against humanity, including murder and persecution.

In a separate case, ex-minister William Ruto and radio presenter Joshua Arap sang will also stand trial. All have denied the allegations against them. Charges against two others were not confirmed.

More than 1,200 people were killed in weeks of unrest after the 2007 poll.
