Humanity Suspended in Sudan: Politician jailed for crimes against humanity freed amid civil war
FirstpostKhartoum: An ex-politician from the Sudan who was imprisoned for alleged crimes against humanity has reportedly fled the prison amid the ongoing civil war. Ahmad Harun was one of the individuals detained in Kober jail in the nation’s capital Khartoum and charged by the International Criminal Court.. A ceasefire between the army of Sudan and a rival paramilitary group still seems to be mostly in effect. There were rumours of a jail break earlier this week in Kober, where Ahmad Harun and the nation’s former president Omar al-Bashir were serving time. The International Criminal Court has accused Bashir of organising a campaign of mass murder and rape in Sudan’s Darfur region and trying to exterminate a portion of the Fur, Zaghawa, and Masalit people.
