State Security Prosecutor: Al-Mahdi under legal custody with consideration of renewal

khartoum-The state security prosecutor has affirmed continuity of investigations into case number (2402) against Mr. Al-Sadeq Al-Mahdi, the chairman of the Umma Party and Immam of Ansar, after the security and intelligence service considers his statements on the Rapid Support Forces as lie and defamation.

Head of the state prosecutor Yasir Ahmed Mohamed said in a press release on Tuesday that Al-Mahdi is at the legal custody in Kober Prison with a consideration of legal renewal.

With regard to the cancellation of releasing order, head of the state security prosecutor said that the plaintiff offered new testimonies in this regard a matter that necessitated the addition of articles 50/62 of the criminal code to the case and, therefore, cancellation of the release order based on article 114.
