AISudan's former president Omar al-Bashir has been transferred to a military hospital in Khartoum for medical treatment. His lawyer said Bashir's condition requires care abroad, echoing calls from his family, who described his health as "critical."
Mohamed al-Hassan al-Amin, Bashir's lawyer, told Reuters that the 82-year-old was moved to Khartoum for tests and treatment, adding that his symptoms require diagnosis and care outside Sudan.
Bashir had previously been transferred from prison to a hospital before the outbreak of war in Sudan. When fighting erupted between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces, he was moved to the northern city of Merowe and placed under military guard.
In a statement issued on Monday, Bashir's family called for his transfer abroad for treatment, stressing that the need for medical care outside Sudan is now urgent and cannot be delayed.
