The International Criminal Court in the Hague has been asked to investigate alleged mass killings during a crackdown on post-election protests in Tanzania last month.

Lawyers for the alleged victims backed by the World Jurists Association and the Madrid Bar Association have submitted a document to the ICC detailing allegations of the killings as well as abductions, torture and other acts of intimidation against the political opposition.
