Bemba trial politically motivated?

Lawyers for Congo's former vice-president Jean-Pierre Bemba came to the ICC yesterday to allege that his case was politically motivated.

Here'sthe Reuters story on the hearing.

Bemba's lawyers have long claimed collaboration between the court and Congo's president Joseph Kabila to keep Kabila's main political rival away from the 2011 presidential elections.

His trial should start July 5th.
