Sudan's ousted president Omar al-Bashir was represented again in court on Monday at his second court hearing on corruption charges, with his lawyers demanding his release on bail.
Bashir, dressed in a traditional white Sudanese outfit, sat in the same iron cage as he sat on Monday as his trial began.
At yesterday's hearing, the judge heard three witnesses, two of whom were investigators who searched Bashir's residence after his ouster, and the other a banker.
"We ask the court to release the defendant under the normal guarantees," said Hashim Abu Bakr, a lawyer for Bashir's defense, telling the court. "Bring your request in writing and I will consider it."
The tribunal announced the postponement of the decision on the charges against the ousted Sudanese president to another hearing next Saturday, as it is scheduled to hear two other witnesses were unable to inform them to attend the trial. The trial took place in the presence of the head of Bashir's defense, lawyer Ahmed Ibrahim al-Tahir, and a remarkable presence of relatives and relatives of the isolated Sudanese president.
After the hearing, Bashir was taken in a high-security security convoy to the prison, while two groups of protesters gathered in front of the trial.
Bashir was indicted in May on charges of inciting and killing protesters, and prosecutors also want to question him over allegations of money laundering and terrorist financing.
