The victims and other parties in Appeal Case E645 of 2021 regarding sexual violence committed during the 2007-08 post-election violence are disappointed to learn this afternoon that the judgment has been delayed. This is despite being informed earlier this morning that the judgment would be delivered today.
This follows an earlier postponement by the Court of Appeal on 11 April 2025. Cumulatively, the victims have been in court seeking justice for over 12 years.
For the victims and survivors of the post-election violence, after more than 17 years, this is another dark day. We invite the media and Kenyans to interrogate the judiciary and the Government’s responses to the plight and rights of victims of gross human rights violations. As political deals are made, it is the victims who continue to bear the heavy and deep scars of political violence.
