Aug. 31 - A case on behalf of Jesus Christ has reached Kenya's High Court after two millennia.

A group called Friends of Jesus is seeking to clear the name of Jesus Christ. They say his human rights were violated when he was convicted and crucified without a fair trial. They also want a ruling on whether Jesus' sentencing was legal, arguing that the correct penalty for blasphemy at the time was stoning, not crucifixion.

Stefanie McIntyre reports.

Soundbites:

  • The Plaintiff, Dola Indidis
  • Businessman, David Kipkorir Langat
