Among the five are the mayor of Kosti Retired Colonel Abdel-Moula
Moussa Mohamed, Al-Jazeera cameraman Youssef Ibrahim Sid Ahmed,
Mustafa Nur al-Dayem al-Naeem, Khalid Mohamed Mustafa and al-Jazeera
producer Ali Mustafa Mohamed al-Haj.
Bashir twice issued decrees over the last two months pardoning and
commuting sentences for army and security officers convicted in
connection with the coup.
However, the Sudanese president excluded his former adviser and
ex-director of National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS)
Salah Gosh who remains in jail without charges.
Sources with knowledge of the ongoing investigation into the recent
coup attempt have told Sudan Tribune that Gosh and the four security
officers detained with him refused to demand the presidential pardon
as it was done by the military.
The Sudanese justice ministry is still trying to gather evidence to
charge Gosh and a court have given prosecutors several extensions to
prepare for his trial.
