International court calls for South Africa to arrest Sudan president Omar al-Bashir

Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir flew out of South despite of the order of  a high court which banned him from leaving the country until an application calling for his arrest had been heard. His Information Minister Ahmed Bilal Osman confirmed to Al Jazeera that he has left.

An interim order was made by the high court in Pretoria on 13th June 2015, barring President Bashir from leaving South Africa, pending an application from civil society organisations calling for his arrest on an International Criminal Court warrant.
