16/8/19: AP - Amnesty urges Sudan’s military to extradite ousted al-Bashir

 AP report that Amnesty International is urging Sudan’s military rulers to hand over longtime autocrat Omar al-Bashir to the International Criminal Court to stand trial for war crimes and genocide linked to the Darfur conflict.

 In a statement, Amnesty said that Al Bashir “has evaded justice for far too long,” quoting Amnesty’s Joan Nyanyuki as saying that while al-Bashir’s trial in Khartoum “is a positive step ... he remains wanted for heinous crimes committed against the Sudanese people.”
