13/5/2021: Sudan Tribune - Sudan’s attorney general urges to hand over militaries who killed protesters

 

Sudan Tribune report that Sudan’s attorney general Tajelsir al-Hibr urged the army to handover those who killed two protesters and wounded 37 others.

Al-Hibr confirmed that the Public Prosecution Office opened two lawsuits against the military involved in the killing of the two youth, Osman Ahmed Badr al-Din and Muddather al-Mukhtar Elshafie, under articles 130 and 186 of the criminal code related to premeditated murder, and crimes against humanity.

He added that an official was filed requesting the army to handover the officer who ordered the opening of fire, and shooting soldiers give their weapons to the Public Prosecution.

Sudan Tribune note that Sovereign Council chairman Abdelfattah al-Burhan did not mention the murder in his Eid al-Fitr speech, although some Sudanese officials blame the attack on members of the disbanded Operation Units that were part of the National Intelligence and Security Services and integrated into the army.
