What you need to know:

  • Mohammad Al-Hassan Al-Amin, a member of the defence, said the team had concerns about health conditions of the courtroom.
  • The defence team also objected to the decision of the Empowerment Removal Committee which dismissed a number of court judges.

A special court in Khartoum has postponed the trial of ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir and a number of officials from his regime by a week. 

The court said it was doing so after defence attorneys raised questions about the suitability of the court in the pandemic season.
