Sudan’s Attorney General, Al-Fateh Taifour, attended on Wednesday the trial of Ali Abdelrahman Koshyb at the International Criminal Court (ICC) in The Hague. He was accompanied by Sudan’s ambassador to the Netherlands, several diplomats, and Abubakar Ahmed, the liaison between the Sudanese government and the ICC.
According to Al-Taghyeer, Taifour and his delegation sat in a designated public gallery behind a glass partition overlooking the courtroom. Civil activists from various countries, journalists, and members of the prosecution office also attended the session.
The session began at around 9:30 a.m. local time and featured closing arguments.
Prosecutor Karim Khan, accompanied by a nine-member team, opened the proceedings, while Koshyb sat at the back of the courtroom with his defense team, led by Cyril Laucci and comprised of six lawyers.
Koshyb is being tried at the ICC after surrendering himself in 2019 on charges of war crimes and crimes against humanity committed in Darfur between August 2002 and April 2004.
