Sudanese Embassy Appeals  Mohammed Adams Verdict [Archives:2001/04/Front Page]

Many sources raised their eyebrows at the move of the Sudanese Embassy to appeal the preliminary court verdict against Mohammed Adam, the Medical Faculty morgue assistant convicted of killing two female students.
The Ambassador sent a petition to the Ministry of Foreign affairs regarding this matter which in turn was referred to the Justice Minister for consideration.
A Sudanese living in Yemen commented on this move and said Sudanese agree with many Yemenis that Mohammed Adam was not alone in committing these crimes. He must have had accomplices, either Yemenis or foreigners. The Yemeni government did not bother to expose these accomplices and arrest them. Therefore, it was important to take part in revealing the whole truth to the Yemeni, as well as the Sudanese people. By executing Adam, the whole case will be nipped in the bud and the question of who his accomplices are will be covered up. The Embassys action is an attempt to reveal the underlying threads to the public, nothing more nothing less.
Judiciary sources maintained that the court was about to complete the cases file and appealing hearings are expected to start on the coming few days.On the other hand, informed sources told YT that some changes within the Sudanese Embassys staff took place at the Sudanese Consular in Riyadh because of this particular case. The same sources indicated that the diplomatic and informative role of the Embassy was not up to standards in following up the case of Mohammed Adam and giving their country fellowman his due attention.
