]]> The Pretoria High Court will hear an urgent application for the arrest of Sudan’s president Omar al Bashir who’s arrived for the African Union summit in Sandton.
The International Criminal Court has two outstanding warrants against Bashir alleging genocide in his western province of Darfur.
end intro
The urgent application brought by humand rights watchdog groups will be heard by Judge Hans Fabricius.
Prosecutors had been prepared to arrest Sudanese President Omar Al Bashir when he arrived in South Africa as they are obliged to do as signatories of the Rome Treaty establishing the International Criminal Court.
But last Thursday government gazetted a provision under the Diplomatic Immunities and Protection Act giving safe passage to any leader or delegate attending the AU summit.
The urgent application is seeking to have this overturned.
