CAIRO (AP) — A rights group has urged Tunisia to either “bar or arrest” Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir if he tries to attend an Arab League summit this weekend. Sudanese have been holding protests since December calling on al-Bashir to step down. The Arab League has rejected the arrest warrant, and al-Bashir has visited several Arab countries in the years since it was issued.
