releases (8) demonstrators in case of Assassination of Intelligence corporal Court releases (8) demonstrators in case of Assassination of Intelligence corporal

A court has announced today acquittal  of (8) demonstrators in case of assassination of the Intelligence  corporal, Mirghani Al-Gaili who was assassinated  during  the 18 March 2021 procession  after the information  under the article (141) (1) of the criminal code was dropped  for non-existence of   evidence against the accused and  that the demonstrators were  released.

This came during session of the court today which was  chaired by the Hon. Judge   Mamoun Jamal Salih Sabdarat , Judge of the public court, who cited the information against the accused and said that this suit  was marred by many procedural mistakes  in arrest , detention  and torture particularly  that one of the prosecution witness had come  to the court  and stated that he was arrested   and forced  to  give this testimony, adding that he  appeared before the court  from a week-long  detention at the military intelligence and that he has  nothing to do with the incident.

The  judge  further added that a testimony of another prosecution witness was untrusted , because  he was  the deceased’s workmate  and  he did not see the person who had beaten the  deceased  and as, the judge explained, there  was no evidence tantamount  to level of prosecution it was decided  cancelling of the information against the 8  demonstrators ,Khalid Mamoun Khidir, Hamza Salih Mahjoub, ShrafF-Eddin  Abul-Majid, Suwar Al-Dahab Abul-Azayem, Hussam Mansour Hassan,  Michel Games Jal, Musaab Ahmed Mohamed Khairi and Gasim Hasseb.

Meanwhile, Lawyer of the 7th accused , Jaafer Kajo said  in a statement to SUNA that the prosecution committee  is in the process to level  information against all those contributed and incited  the witness Jad Karim  to give a false  and fabricating  testimony and against all those  ciontributed in conducting the investigation  to obstruct justice.
