Now after twenty four months, the court ordered the release of Musa Jahalla taxi without being compensated for lost period. Which mean this is kind of economical war and violation extended to his family and kids rights. • Defendant (Elsheikh) is the third innocent arbitrary detainee that the court ordered his release after twenty four months jailing with no legal grounds. • All the penalties released seem to reflect that the judge is not fully convinced by the evidence of guiltiness presented !!! • The defense committee lawyers they has the right to appeal within one week only for appealing court of terrorism combating (article 21 Procedure Rule of Terrorism Combating Courts). • The six defendants are: Sadam Abass John / Ali Idriss / Elnour Jackin Jackouni / Ali Tugul Bulaad / Hassan Suliman Mussa / Nabeil Taha Amir • The seventy seven defendants, HUDO will submit their names later.
