Former Sudanese President Al-Bashir Sentenced To 2 Years Detention

Omar al-Bashir, former Sudanese president, was sentenced to two years in detention for corruption and illegal possession of foreign currency. Despite being over 70, he is held in a maximum security prison due to ongoing trials for ordering the killing of protesters, which could lead to a death sentence. His assets, including millions in euros and Sudanese pounds, were confiscated. Sudanese law mandates that those over 70 not facing a death sentence be detained in a reform facility.
