Raila invites ICC to probe protesters’ killing, maiming

Opposition leader Raila Odinga has formally sought the intervention of the International Criminal Court (ICC) over the alleged “killing and maiming” of his supporters by the police, signalling a long-drawn confrontation with President William Ruto’s administration.

Mr Odinga’s Azimio coalition has provided details of nine individuals it believes were killed by the police, including a policeman who was run over by a police vehicle, during the now suspended mass action. It has also listed opposition supporters and journalists allegedly wounded by the police during the protests.
