The commission organizing Southern Sudan’s Jan. 9 independence referendum rejected a lawsuit seeking to halt the vote on the grounds that the committee violated the law, a spokesman said.
“The procedures were all correct, and all done within the provisions of the law,” commission spokesman George Maker said today in a telephone interview from Khartoum, the capital. The commission issued its response to the lawsuit yesterday, he said.
