A court in Sudan has postponed deposed President Omar al-Bashir’s corruption case, BBC Arabic reports.
The reasons are still unclear. Earlier, Sudan’s privately owned Baj News reported that the detained ex-president’s lawyers had asked for the case to be suspended because of his “aggravated psychological well-being” following his mother’s death two days ago.
The Saudi-owned Al Arabiya news site reports that the case has been postponed to 15 August.
He was charged in June. The charges are related to laws on “suspected illicit wealth and emergency orders”, the public prosecutor’s office said at the time.
