The judge also sentenced Al-Jarida editor Saadeldin Ibrahim to a fine of 5,000 Sudanese pounds (€1,290) in connection with the same articles about human rights violations by the security forces.
Several journalists were able to attend the hearing. When Ghazali, Ibrahim and a third Al-Jarida journalist, Amal Habani, appeared in court on 30 June, Judge Rasheed banned the media from the courtroom. Habani is due to be tried on 14 July.
