A Sudanese court sentenced to death by hanging a leader in the rebel Justice and Equality Movement, which carried out attacks against the army in Southern Kordofan, state-run SUNA news agency reported late yesterday.

The ruling against Al-Tom Hamed was issued by a court in Kadugli, the capital of Southern Kordofan state for “undermining the constitutional order, stirring up war against the state and wearing the military uniform”, SUNA said.
