Thirdly :- The Movement sternly warn the genocide regime on implementing its heinous verdict, and the movent will retaliate in an opportune moment if this criminal verdict is carried out.
Lastly :- The Movement appeal to all human right organizations to put pressure on Khartoum to force it backtrack from it prejudiced decision that will have dangerous consequences.
