The Sudan Scholars Commission accused Professor Ibrahim Al-Karouri and the former Secretary General of the Commission of impersonating a legal status they do not possess, against the background of the decision of the Registrar of Organizations at the Humanitarian Aid Commission not to renew the license of the Commission.
Dr. Khalid Adam Sheikha, Acting Secretary-General of the Commission, said that the appearance of Karouri as a spokesman for the Commission represents, as he described it, "a false claim," considering that these moves are aimed at diverting attention from open legal reports related to accusations of "fraud and criminal participation."
Sheikha pointed out that the communications are based on article 123 of the Sudanese Criminal Code, explaining that the investigation procedures included statements that the Commission said supported the accusations.
In its statement, the Authority defended its continued registration under the umbrella of the Humanitarian Aid Commission, considering that this gives it advantages related to communication with Islamic and Arab organizations, as well as providing technical, scientific and material support, and maintaining its independence away from political tensions.
The statement added that this approach has the support of academic and legal figures, including Professor Al-Makashvi Taha Al-Kabbashi and Professor Naji Mustafa.
The Commission warned against attempts to transfer its registration to the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments, saying that this step may lead to "slicing the class" and the destruction of legal privileges enjoyed by it, according to the statement.
The Commission confirmed that it has regained its previous legal status after a period of supervision during which it was subject to the Ministry of Religious Affairs and Endowments during the phase of the Committee to remove empowerment, noting that it will continue to reveal what it described as "facts" to public opinion through subsequent statements.
