Update (4) COURT TRIAL OF AL-SANADRA CASE
The court of appeal ruled that, the decision by Khartoum North court should be
maintained (upheld). This was in response to the objections/ appeal by the
military’s legal consultant. The judge/justice announced 29th November for the
coming court session. Consequences The military’s legal consultant had earlier
challenged and appealed the court order of “confining the two soldiers amongst
the defendants in a civilian prison/ Kober prison”. The Court of Appeal made
its ruling whereby his objection was overruled / rejected and the Khartoum
North court’s decision was maintained/ upheld. The judge/justice announced in
the absence of all parties that the next court session will be conducted on
29th November 2017.But court police informed the lawyers of the two parties via
phone calls.
Recommendations HUDO urges all the concerned, especially:
§ The Sudan court to
conduct the trial fairly
§ The activists and
defendants’ supporters to keep on attending court sessions
§ The diplomatic missions
and embassies to observe the court sessions
§ The Sudan and
international media to give full coverage for the court
