Prosecutors at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague have said they are withdrawing charges against Kenyas leader Uhuru Kenyatta. A statement said the evidence had not improved to such an extent that Mr Kenyattas alleged criminal responsibility can be proven beyond reasonable doubt. President Kenyatta was indicted for crimes against humanity in connection with violence after elections in 2007. He had denied the charges. On Wednesday, the court had given prosecutors a week to decide whether to pursue their case or to drop charges. Further delays in President Kenyattas case would be contrary to the interests of justice, it had said.
