Ayatollah Mohsen Araki Secretary General of the World Forum for Proximity of the Islamic Schools of Thought in a condolatory message offered his condolences over Sudan’s main opposition leader Hassan Abd Allah al-Turabi, reported Taqrib News Agency (TNA).
President of Ian top unity center also expressed deep sorrow to people of Sudan and the honorable bereaved family of the late religious face, praying for patience to the family of the deceased for their lost.

Sudan’s main opposition leader Hassan Abd Allah al-Turabi has reportedly lost his life after sinking into a coma and being transferred to a medical center in the capital, Khartoum, in critical condition earlier in the day.
The influential Sudanese political figure formed the opposition Popular Congress Party in 1999 after breaking ranks with Bashir and his ruling National Congress Party following a bitter power struggle.
He was jailed several times over a career spanning four decades. His most recent imprisonment was on January 17, 2011, for nine days in the wake of popular uprisings against despotic regimes across North Africa.
Turabi was the only Sudanese politician to support the International Criminal Court (ICC) warrant for Bashir's arrest on charges of war crimes, crimes against humanity and genocide in Darfur.
He was fluent in English, French and German besides his mother tongue Arabic, and his foreign language skills helped him reach out to international media outlets, and fiercely criticize Bashir's government.
