ICC Trial Of Kenya's President Adjourned Indefinitely

Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court have asked for the
case against Kenyan President Uhuru Kenyatta to be adjourned
indefinitely.

ICC chief prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said she still did not have enough
evidence to proceed with the trial, which was due to resume next
month.

The trial has already been delayed several times, with key witnesses
pulling out.

Kenyatta denies organising ethnic massacres after the 2007 election.

He is charged with crimes against humanity after some 1,200 people
were killed and 600,000 driven from their homes.

Africa's leaders have lobbied for the case to be dropped, accusing the
ICC of only investigating alleged atrocities in Africa.

Bensouda, a Gambian national, denies this, arguing that she is
standing up for the African victims.

She accused Kenyatta's government of failing to fulfil its obligations
to the court in supplying information she has requested.

She said the case should be delayed "until such time the government of
Kenya executes the [prosecution's] revised request in full.

Kenyatta's lawyers have repeatedly said the whole case should be
dropped because of a lack of evidence.
