SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Sudan Tribune – Sudanese Professionals rebuke al-Burhan’s rejection of handover al-Bashir to ICC
Sudan Tribune reports that Sudanese Professional Association (SPA) have rejected statements by Abdelfattah El Burhan, the head of the ruling Sovereign Council, that Omer al-Bashir would not be handed over to the International Criminal Court (ICC).
Labelling the position “unacceptable,” the SPA issued a statement saying that “the first and foremost purpose for the prosecution of al-Bashir for the crimes of his regime in Darfur is to reach an equation that satisfies stakeholders - victims of genocide and crimes against humanity- in the villages, towns and cities of Darfur.”
The statement added that “we must take into account the desire of the victims to see al-Bashir handed over to the international justice, to affront him and to those who were under his command and to heal the bereaved."
