The Special Prosecutor for the Darfur crimes' Office summoned 30 students from the University of El Fasher, capital of North Darfur, to investigate charges of criminal damage and arson against them.
A student at the Faculty of Education, Ahmed Omar, told Radio Dabanga that thirty students from different faculties of the University of El Fasher have received orders to attend the Prosecutor's of Darfur crimes office on Tuesday. “They will be investigated following reports in regard to the use of criminal force, criminal damage and Article 26 of the Law on the possession of weapons.”
He further pointed out that a group of students will appear on Thursday before the office to be investigated with another group on Sunday and Monday. The students have expressed surprise at the charges against them, claiming they know nothing about them, the source said.
It is noteworthy that an unknown group of allegedly students at the University of El Fasher burned the Deanship office, together with three of the employees' transportation cars, on 20 March 2014.
Yasir Ahmed Mohamed, appointed in June 2012 as new Special Prosecutor for Darfur crimes, is the third to be appointed in the position after his two predecessors quit. The Sudanese government created this position to prove its seriousness in trying the perpetrators of war crimes in the region. The previous prosecutors, however, failed to bring charges against any individual.
