Kenya ignores calls for international trials over election violence
Kenya will use its own courts to try suspected perpetrators of post-election violence last year that left 1,000 people dead, defying demands for international prosecutions.
Kenya's Cabinet ignored calls from donors, including Britain, for a special tribunal or else trials at the International Criminal Court in The Hague and opted instead to rely on the weak local judiciary.
Politicians, businessmen and machete-wielding youths are believed to have been behind Kenya's deadly post-election violence that left more than 1,300 people dead and forced 300,000 from their homes during weeks of fighting following the disputed December 2007 poll.
