Bashir transferred to Khartoum military hospital; family urges treatment abroad

Ousted Sudanese president Omar al-Bashir has been transferred to a military hospital in Khartoum, where his family and lawyer are pressing for his treatment abroad.

• Bashir was moved to Aliaa military hospital in Omdurman from Merowe roughly two weeks ago after a health setback.
• Lawyer Mohamed al-Hassan al-Amin said Bashir has symptoms requiring diagnosis and treatment outside Sudan and that authorities had not responded to a travel request.
• Bashir's family said his need for medical treatment abroad has become urgent and that it had received no official approval for his travel.
• Prosecutor Mu'izz Hadara said the law bars any accused or sentenced person from traveling abroad for treatment.
