CAIRO: The trial of Sudan’s deposed strongman Omar Al-Bashir over his role in the 1989 military coup that brought him to power was adjourned to September 22, the judge said Tuesday.
The brief session, which was broadcast on Sudan TV, saw Bashir and other co-accused appear behind bars in the courtroom crowded with lawyers.
The judge said Tuesday’s hearing was “procedural,” and that requests were being considered to change the courtroom as it was hard to adhere to coronavirus precautions in the packed setting.
