South Sudan Court Deemed "Illegal" by Lawyer
A lawyer for Riek Machar, the suspended First Vice President of South Sudan, has argued that the special court trying his client is operating unlawfully.
The court has become jurisdictionally incompetent and unlawful.
Defence lawyer Geri Raimondo Legge filed a motion to dismiss the case, citing the expiration of the court's legal mandate. The ministerial order establishing the court granted it a one-month mandate, which expired last week.
- The special court is trying Machar and seven others.
- Machar's party, the Sudan People's Liberation Movement-in-Opposition (SPLM/A-IO), has dismissed the trial as politically motivated.
Author's summary: Machar's lawyer claims the court is unlawful and seeks case dismissal.
