Bashir denied his government was involved in widespread human rights abuses in Darfur, where an estimated 200,000 people have been killed in what the US says is the first genocide of this century.

Sadia Idriss Fadul was sentenced on Feb 13 and Amouna Abdallah Daldoum on March 6 and their sentences could be carried out at any time.
