African Union to advise members not to arrest Bashir
None
The African Union (AU) will advise member states not to detain Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir despite an International Criminal Court arrest warrant, according to a draft AU resolution seen by Reuters.
Bashir was indicted by the ICC for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Darfur last year. This month the court added genocide to the charges, accusing him of directing rape, torture and murder in the remote west of Sudan. (Reuters)
