Sudan Organisation Against Torture
Urgent Action on Detention and Torture of Sudanese Doctors
Human Rights Alert: June 2010-06-06
Torture and killing of Dr Alhadi Bakhit Alnur in Khartoum
Colleagues, family and friends of Dr Al hadi Bakhit Al Nur, who was detained and tortured by the National Security and Intelligence Forces (NISS) in the capital Khartoum on Tuesday 1st June, have informed SOAT that he might have been killed by the Security forces. SOAT urges the Government of Sudan to either confirm or deny this information by ordering his immediate release.
SOAT strongly condemns the ferocity of the government security forces response to legitimate demands of its citizens in Sudan. Gravely concerned about the continuing intimidation and harassment of members of the Doctor’s Strike Committee and the medical professionals in Sudan, SOAT condemns the arbitrary arrests, detentions and harassment of these persons and the Sudanese authorities’ strong crackdown on freedom of expression.
The rights to freedom of peaceful assembly and association are guaranteed by international human rights law. Article 20 of the Universal Declaration states, "Everyone has the right to freedom of peaceful assembly and association." Article 21 of the Civil and Political Covenant secures the right to peaceful assembly and Article 22 protects freedom of association.
International standards for the use of force by law enforcement officials as set forth in the Code of Conduct for Law Enforcement Officials, adopted by General Assembly resolution 34/169 of 17 December 1979 provides under Article 2 that, "in the performance of their duty, law enforcement officials shall respect and protect human dignity and maintain and uphold the human rights of all persons." Commentary (b) to Article 3 proclaims, "In no case should this provision be interpreted to authorize the use of force which is disproportionate to the legitimate objective to be achieved."
Please write to the authorities in Sudan urging them to:
Order the immediate release of Dr Al Hadi Al Nur and 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.
Cease the harassment and intimidation of members of Sudanese doctors and medical personnel and their leaders.
Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of expression and association throughout Sudan in accordance with its constitutional obligations and international human rights standards.
