Sudan sets up special court for trying Darfur suspects

    KHARTOUM, June 11 (Xinhuanet) -- The Sudanese government on Saturday unveiled the establishment of a special court for alleged human rights violations in the western region of Darfur.     

    Chairman of the Sudanese Council of Justice Jalal-eddin Mohammed Othman said the Sudanese justice "intends to fulfill its full responsibility for carrying out its mission impartially" and will not let any perpetrators escape from punishment whatever their positions are.

    He said the tribunal is a high court which will be specialized in pursuing Darfur war crime suspects, adding it has been authorized to try any suspect involved in killing, looting and destruction of properties in the region.

    Meanwhile, Sudanese Foreign Minister Mustafa Ismail confirmed the government's readiness to cooperate with all institutions which could contribute to realizing justice in Darfur.    

    He told reporters that all necessary procedures and arrangements for the Darfur special criminal court started, stressing that any impunity will be lifted from any Darfur war crime suspects regardless of their positions.

    Ismail said that justice must reach all perpetrators and they will be tried by the Sudanese court, adding the court would be open all the time and would work in a transparent way. Enditem
