Sudan's Bashir arrives in Indonesia, defying ICC arrest warrant

Khartoum - Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir arrived in Indonesia on Sunday, defying an international warrant for his arrest, to attend an Organisation of Islamic Cooperation summit, the Sudanese state news agency said.

 

The Hague-based International Criminal Court (ICC) issued arrest warrants for Bashir in 2009 and 2010, accusing him of masterminding genocide and other atrocities in his campaign to crush a revolt in the western Darfur region.

 

Members of the ICC are obliged to act on arrest warrants. Indonesia is not a member.
