The Appeals Chamber of the International Criminal Court in the Hague has rejected an appeal by the former president of Ivory Coast, Laurent Gbagbo, that he should be released while he awaits trial.
The court announced the decision on Tuesday, dashing hopes for Gbagbo to stand trial when he enjoys some freedom - just like Kenyan leader Uhuru Kenyatta and his deputy William Ruto who face similar charges.
Gbagbo is accused of crimes against humanity after thousands died in post-election violence when he refused to leave office in the West African nation despite losing the November 2010 runoff vote
