STATE BARBARISM

Sudanese boy faces double amputation after 'unfair' robbery trial

A Sudanese boy of 16 is to have his right hand and left foot amputated by a court order that human rights campaigners have denounced as barbaric.
Launching an urgent appeal on behalf of Mohamed Hassan Hamdan, Amnesty International said yesterday that the penalty, known as 'cross amputation' is tantamount to torture.
