ICC to set up office in Sudan to gather evidence on Bashir

The International Criminal Court is set to establish an office in Khartoum to follow on a case in which former President Omar al-Bashir and other former senior officials are accused of crimes against humanity.

ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan said he had asked Sudanese authorities to allow him to see all the evidence, and said he will open an office in Khartoum to devote himself “to collecting evidence with my colleagues in the judicial authorities in Sudan in order to bring justice to the victims and achieve justice.”
