URGENT ACTION

Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, 58, a prominent Sudanese human rights defender has been on hunger strike since 21 January 2017 to protest against his arbitrary detention. Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam was arrested by the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) on 7 December 2016 and has been detained without charge since then at Kober prison in Khartoum, Sudan.
Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam has been on hunger strike at Kober prison since 21 January 2017 to protest against his prolonged detention without charge. Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam was arrested by the NISS on 7 December 2016 while at the University of Khartoum where he works as an engineering professor. His family informed Amnesty International that he suffers from chronic respiratory and heart complications. The hunger strike therefore poses a serious health risk to him.
There are also concerns that Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam is being subjected to torture and other ill-treatment while in detention. An eyewitness released from Kober prison on 23 January 2017 informed Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam’s family that he saw him chained to a pole as NISS agents brutally beat him. His hands were cuffed and his legs shackled at the time. His family has requested the Sudanese authorities for permission to visit him twice but their requests have been denied.
The eyewitness also told the family that Hafiz Edris Eldoma, an Internally Displaced Person (IDP) from Darfur who was arrested on 24 November 2016 at Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam’s house, was also being tortured by NISS agents.
Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam’s driver, Adam El-Sheikh, and his accountant, Nora Obied Osman, were also detained by the NISS on 7 and 12 December 2016 respectively. None of the three have been informed of the reasons for their arrest and they are being held without charge or access to lawyers or family. They are risk of torture and other ill-treatment while in detention.
Please write immediately in Arabic or your own language:
 Urging the Sudanese authorities to either charge Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, Adam El-Sheikh, Nora Obied Osman and Hafiz Edris Eldoma with a recognizable criminal offence or immediately release them;
 Calling on them to ensure that Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, Adam El-Sheikh, Nora Obied Osman and Hafiz Edris Eldoma are granted access to their family, medical treatment and a lawyer of their choice;
 Urging them to investigate allegations of torture and other ill-treatment and ensure that they are not subjected to further torture and other ill-treatment during their detention.
