Hague Court Prosecutor in Sudan to Discuss Cooperation on Arrests
The Prosecutor General of the International Criminal Court, Fatou Bensouda, is leading a delegation in a four-day official visit to the country. The delegation will hold a number of meetings with senior officials, to discuss cooperation with the ICC regarding accused persons against whom arrest warrants were issued. The investigations that the ICC started in June 2005 led to the indictment of former interior minister Ahmed Haroun, and janjaweed leader Ali 'Kushayb' in 2007. In 2009, former Sudanese president Omar al Bashir was indicted for crimes against humanity and war crimes, as well as rebel leader Abdallah Banda, for war crimes. A year later, Al Bashir was also officially accused of genocide in Darfur. Sudan's former defence minister Abdelrahim Hussein, was charged with crimes against humanity and war crimes in 2012.
