Victims of the crimes for which Deputy President William Ruto is charged at the ICC have complained to the Hague-based court about prayer-rallies being held to intercede for the accused.

In the bi-monthly report on the status of victims filed last week by the Victims Participation and Reparation Section and Common Legal Representative of the case, the victims said the rallies are testimony to insensitivity of the political class to their plight.
