Khartoum, November 23(Darfur24) Deputy chairman of Sudan Sovereignty Council and leader of the Rapid support Forces RSF Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo also known as Hemeti ,was absent from court hearing today where former president Bashir is being tried over allegation over Fatwa to kill one third of the Sudanese people .
court summoned Hamedti to appear before it in today’s session Wednesday, November 23 – to testify as an accusing witness in the case in which former President Omar Al-Bashir, Ali Othman Muhammad Taha, Ahmed Haroun and Al-Fateh Ezz El-Din are facing charges of incitement to kill demonstrators.
Abd al-Baqi Ahmed Muhammad al-Amin, the father of al-Nazir Abd al-Baqi, who was killed during the protests against the Salvation Army, filed a case against the ousted President Omar al-Bashir, his deputy Ali Othman Taha, the head of the dissolved National Congress Party, Ahmed Harun, and the former parliament speaker, al-Fatih Ezz al-Din, on charges of incitement to kill the demonstrators.
The court convening at the Institute of Judicial and Legal Sciences in Khartoum, headed by Judge Zuhair Babiker Abdel-Razek, heard the complainant’s testimonies.
Abdel-Baqi, 63, explained that his only son was shot in the head while he was participating in the sit-in that toppled Al-Bashir on April 11, 2019, and the court judges demanded retribution from the four defendants, who are prominent leaders in the ousted regime.
Hamidti had said earlier that some clerics informed Al-Bashir of the existence of a fatwa on the authority of Imam Malik bin Anas, permitting the killing of a third of the people – or half of it, according to some hardliners – so that the rest of the people could live.
