 And the defense lawyers representing ousted Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir have asked to transfer him from Kuba central prison to a private hospital for examination because they suspect he may have COVID-19. Bashir is currently in the prison to the north of Khartoum, seven times on a number of charges for his role in heading the military coup that brought him to power in 1989. The prison staff informed the court that Bashir could not attend because he suffers from a sore throat and cough and needs medical rest. Judge Ahmed Ahmed said the court will follow up with the prison administration about Bashir's health status and to decide if he needs to be transferred to hospital or not.
