SOAT Press Release: 05 January 2004
Arbitrary arrests in Zalingy
On 2 January 2004, the security forces in Zalingy, Darfour, arrested 4 men from the Fur ethnic group; they were arrested from the local market in Zalingy at 11am. They are currently being detained at the security forces offices in Zalingy. Their names are as follows:
Adeab Abd El Rahman Yousif, 30 yrs, teacher
Saead Imam Alhaj, 35 yrs, teacher
Ibrahim Osman, 36 yrs, merchant
Arbab Abd El Mowla, 34 yrs, teacher
They were arrested in suspicion of belonging to the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA), one of the main armed rebel groups operating in Darfour. They have not been officially charged. There are significant fears that they may have been subjected to torture as thee have been other reported cases of torture by the security forces in Zilingy.
Background
The situation in Darfur continues to deteriorate; many civilians have been displaced and many killed due to the ongoing fighting in the region. This has continued even with the extension of the ceasefire agreement until 4 December 2003, following the initial ceasefire agreement, on 3 September 2003, for 45 days between the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and the Government of Sudan (GoS) on. The conflict continues with various parties to the conflict including government sponsored militias and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM). In the meantime, many civilians are killed and displaced within Darfour and neighbouring Chad with limited or no humanitarian aid getting through to those in need.
It is alleged that these new wave of arbitrary arrests are due to the failure of the negotiations between the government of Sudan and the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) in N'djamena, Chad, over the conflict in Darfur, Western Sudan. This has led to the escalation of the conflict in Darfur and the rapid deterioration of the situation in the region.
SOAT condemns these arbitrary arrests and urges the Government of Sudan to:
Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of all the detainees.
Order the immediate release of all the detainees in the absence of valid legal charges, or if legitimate charges exist, bring them before an impartial tribunal and guarantee procedural rights at all times.
Ensure that all detainees have access to legal advice
Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of association throughout Sudan in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards.
The above recommendations should be sent in appeals to the following
