Kenya rape protests

Kenya's police cast doubt Saturday on a schoolgirl's testimony she was gang-raped, even as the chief justice ordered "action" in a case that has sparked outrage worldwide after the alleged attackers were ordered only to cut grass.

The reported ferocious attack on the teenage girl and the lack of action against the perpetrators has led to an outcry in Kenya, while over 1.3 million people worldwide have signed a petition demanding justice. (AFP)
