Amnesty International’s Michelle Kagari says the ICC decision could be seen as a major setback by thousands of victims who have waited so long for justice.

She insists this is not the end of the road for the victims.

The accused have not been acquitted, and can be re-prosecuted for these charges either by the ICC or domestically.

Amnesty International welcomes the recognition by Judge Oboe Esoji of the role that witness interference played in the case and calls for all responsible to be held accountable.
