Sudan’s Ministry of Justice has rejected claims it impeded investigators from the International Criminal Court over a list of wanted persons by the world body.
Instead, the Ministry on Thursday said the Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court, Karim Khan, had not submitted any request to meet the wanted persons on his current tour of the country. A number of persons are wanted for war crimes and crimes against humanity for the conflict in Darfur.
