{{The chief prosecutor of the International Criminal Court has visited victims of the violence that followed Kenya’s 2007 election.}}<\/p>\n
Fatou Bensouda says she was concerned about ICC witnesses being intimidated ahead of a criminal trial at The Hague in the Netherlands.<\/p>\n
In her first official visit to Kenya, Bensouda sat surrounded by some of the 350,000 people displaced by the deadly violence in 2007-2008, still living in a camp of tightly packed tents known as “Pipeline Camp” in the Rift Valley, one of the hardest-hit areas.<\/p>\n
The next general election is expected within the next six months, but Bensouda sought to distance herself from Kenya’s restive domestic political scene.<\/p>\n
“Ours is a judicial process and what we want to do is to bring justice,” she said. “Justice for those who suffered the post-election violence. It is a separate process. It is not part of the elections. It is not part of the politics.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
