Sudanese court declines to release 1989 coup plotters
The ringleaders include Bashir’s former vice-presidents Ali Osman Taha and Bakri Hassan Saleh, four members of his cabinet and 10 senior military officers.
A court in Sudan on Tuesday refused to release key suspects in the 1989 coup that brought to power Omar al-Bashir, who himself was ousted in April 2019.
The court, a special tribunal chaired by Supreme Court judge Hussain al-Jack, heard demands from the defence team for the alleged plotters to be freed.
