Speaking to the AFP, the lawyer Salma Mohammedahmed Hamed said Judge Ahmed Khalil Albahar ruled on the case on Sunday at a court in Khartoum’s twin city of Omdurman, also sentencing six other minors who abused the girl to 10 years each in a reformatory. Cases of gang rape are rare in the Islamist-run state.
“He found them guilty by the evidence he received of raping a child,” he said. All 13 of them abused her. “They gave her a cup of juice containing drugs and then raped her,” Hamed said. In his verdict, the judge cited a presidential directive calling for heavier punishments of sex crimes. Hamed said the girl was treated at a rape trauma centre and has returned to school.
