Sudan's Bashir sentenced to two years house arrest for corruption involving foreign funds

A Sudanese court convicted deposed president Omar al-Bashir of graft on Saturday and sentenced him to two years' house arrest in a social care facility.

"The court convicted Omar Hassan Ahmed al- Bashir," judge Al-Sadiq Abdelrahman said. "The court decided to send him to a community reform centre for two years."

The judge said that "under the law, those who reached the age of 70 shall not serve jail terms".

Bashir, 75, will serve his sentence after the verdict has been reached in another case in which he is accused of ordering the killing of demonstrators during the protests that led to his ouster, the judge said.

It's good they are sending him to jail but I'm sure he did some very grave things. Read up on him. Perhaps, justice will still be served. This is in regards to Darfur and all of that. War crimes.

Bashir should be hung, cremated, and his ashes scattered in the Indian Ocean. For his part in the genocide-religiocide in what is now South Sudan, before Darfur.
