The law to dissolve Bashir's National Congress Party (NCP) also allows for the party's assets to be seized, Justice Minister Nasredeen Abdelbari said. The Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), which spearheaded the protests against Bashir, welcomed the law. Information Minister Faisal Mohamed Saleh said the delay in approving the law was caused by work to "improve" it. Under Bashir, the public order law was deployed to impose conservative Islamic social codes, restricting women's freedom of dress, movement, association, work and study. "The decision to abolish the public order law is a culmination of the courageous struggles of women for 30 years," she told Reuters.
