The ousted Sudanese President Omar Hassan Al-Bashir has been moved to Kober prison in Khartoum where he confined those who challenged his rule of nearly 30 years, according to his advisor Osama Nabil Sobhi.
Sobhi was the president of Sudan Disarmament, Demobilization and Integration, which served as an advisory board to Mr. Al-Bashir.
The throngs of protesters who forced his ouster last Thursday have demanded that he be arrested and put on trial.
Meanwhile the military general who have taken over power from Al-Bashir has only said that he is being held in a “safe place“ but did not say where.
Mr Al-Bashir is currently under indictment by the International Criminal Court at The Hague for genocide; those charges relate to the atrocities that his regime oversaw in the 2000s in Darfur, a province in the country’s west.
It still remains unclear as to whether the transitional government will extradite Al-Bashir to The Hague where his warrant of arrest was issued, but immerging reports indicate that Uganda`s government has offered to provide asylum to the Sudan`s ousted leader.
Political dissidents and opposition figures have often ended up at the feared Kober Prison, site of some of the country’s most notorious hangings.
At the moment demonstrators in Khartoum have vowed to continue with the demonstrations until the military hand over power to the civilians.
