Sudan gives thumbs-up to visit in October by UN rights rapporteur

The Sudanese government has now agreed to a visit here in October by UN human rights rapporteur Gerhart Baum after refusing to meet him here earlier this month, the state-run SUNA news agency reported Sunday. Sudan's Advisory Council for Human Rights, chaired by Justice Minister Ali Mohamed Osman Yassin, two weeks ago called for Baum's planned September visit to be postponed to protest his request for details on how Khartoum spends its oil revenues.
