The source told Anadolu Agency that Al-Haj was arrested by the Sudanese police forces “from his home,” pointing out that he was interrogated over former president Omar al-Bashir’s rise to power in a 1989 coup.

He was then transferred to the Kobar prison in the Sudanese capital city of Khartoum – where Bashir is also being held.
