On rape during the PEV
DNA Testing Services Kenya has sent a curious letter to O’Campo / the ICC arguing that Kibaki, Odinga, Anyang Nyong’o, Elizabeth Ongoro, Mugabe Were & Major General Ali Mohammed are not culpable for mass rape incidents in Nairobi during the post-election violence period (an estimated 40,500 women and children were raped country-wide), because they have evidence that no one particular community was targeted in Nairobi when the rapes were being committed. Therefore, their argument goes, politicians /government officials who had control over those areas could not be culpable because the rapes targeted all communities – they use the Rwanda genocide case PROSECUTOR V. JEAN PAUL AKAYESU (ICTR-96-4-T) to support their case.
Beyond the fact that their legal argument is incorrect…Akayesu was found guilty of rape as genocide which would not be the argument in Kenya (argument would be rape as a crime against humanity) and for rape to qualify as a crime against humanity, you need to prove that it was widespread and systematic, that fact no ethnic group was targeted does not defeat the case…I’m curious about:
- the decision to come to the defense of those select individuals, shouldn’t DNA Testing and Nairobi Women’s Hospital (where many victims in Nairobi sought assistance) be at minimum advocates for truth-telling and not for exculpation?
- since DNA testing/Nairobi Women’s Hospital are the holders of critical DNA evidence would their bias (as is revealed in the letter) affect their cooperation with the ICC?
- this points to the perennial problem of poor government testing facilities when it comes to sexual assault cases in Kenya (all crime really), private companies like DNA Testing are filling the gap but at what cost to justice?
Maybe its a publicity thing. Even the criteria they used to pick people to clear of all wrong doing looks arbitrary.
and so the culture of impunity continues…
Their argument doesn’t even prove what they claim: that women of every ethnicity suffered assaults doesn’t show — it isn’t even decent evidence for the claim — that no community had its women ethnically targeted.
to tell the truth, many people who were raped knew their assailants well, and so not even in the Hague but locally, we need to see more prosecutions.

I have been surfing online more than 3 hours as of late, but I never discovered any fascinating article like yours. It is pretty price sufficient for me. In my opinion, if all website owners and bloggers made good content as you did, the internet will probably be a lot more helpful than ever before.
