The ICC Appeals Chamber Wednesday declined to release former Ivorian president Laurent Gbagbo for the rest of his trial on charges arising from deadly election violence that rocked his nation in 2010.
In a statement posted on the International Criminal Court’s website, a three-judge bench directed Trial Chamber I to establish whether Mr Gbagbo should continue to be detained or should be released, with or without conditions. Until this matter is decided, Gbagbo will remain in detention, they ruled.
