Should the former president be found guilty he could face either the death penalty or life imprisonment as the charge has no limitation or time-lapse.
Sudanese Attorney General Taj Al Heaber is trying to build confidence in the judiciary - following the installation of a new transitional authority in the wake of the recent revolution - and announced that he has formed a committee to investigate the June 30, 1989, military putsch which was led by Bashir and supported by the National Islamic Front , the Sudan Tribune reported.
The committee’s findings will form the basis of prosecution of the Islamic Movement's leaders, including civilians and military personnel, for undermining the constitutional system. Bashir is already incarcerated and facing a possible trial over economic crimes committed during his 30-year reign.
