KHARTOUM, July 31, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – The trial of ousted Sudanese leader
Omar al-Bashir on corruption charges will begin on August 17, his lawyer
said, after the ex-president failed to appear in court Wednesday for the
first session.
“Today was the first session of his trial, but the authorities were unable
to bring him due to security reasons, so the judge informed us that the trial
will now start on August 17,” Hisham al-Gaaly told AFP.
