Adrian Kamotho has reported Azimio leader Raila Odinga to the International Criminal Court Chief Prosecutor Karim Khan.
Kamotho who is representing Victims of Maandamano Insurgents (VMI), claims that the anti-government demonstrations were driven by mayhem, vandalism, looting, terror and destruction of property.
“We are instructed to respectfully draw your attention to grave humanitarian atrocities and war crimes perpetrated against our clients that fall at the heart of your mandate as delineated by the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, which inter alia confers upon the ICC, unfettered jurisdiction in relation to crimes of international concern, in complementarity to national criminal jurisdictions.
“Our clients are compellingly persuaded that a time has come for the Office of the Prosecutor to take decisive steps in consonance with Article 15 of the Rome Statute to redress acute humanitarian transgressions and war crimes being perpetrated with impunity by Hon. Raila Odinga, a former prime minister,” Kamotho requested.
The letter comes at a time when Raila and his team took a break from the weekly protest but promised to be back on the streets if their grievances are not taken into account.
