مجزرة بورتسودان.. وتصعيد لنضال البجا.. بقلم أدروب بجا أور

Quote: FROM SHRO-CAIRO January 30, 2005 URGENT REPORT Follow-Up Report on the Massacres of Port Sudan The Beja demand high-level judicial investigation The victims of the police brutality in Port Sudan were 30 people, including 2 women and several children whose names would be shortly reported. The inhabitants of Port Sudan buried the victims of the Police Massacres of Port Sudan at the Kabari and the al-wihda cemeteries in Salalab. The police authorities asked the al-Beja tribal chiefs to force the Beja people, who comprise a large population of the city, to coalesce with the authorities “as a national body.” The chiefs, however, emphasized the need to establish an immediate high-judicial investigation committee to determine the criminal responsibility of the massacres, whether from the part of the ministry of interior and the police command in Khartoum, or the police headquarters of Port Sudan. In the meantime, SHRO-Cairo received reliable reports that the Sudan Government has escalated military action against the Beja Forces in Tandli and al-Gash as well as Makali and Degain in the neighborhoods of Jebel Await near the Mokram Mountains of Kassala. Further reports indicated that the murdered citizens were hunted by the police even inside their dwelling areas where 2 women and a number of children were killed by police firearms. SHRO-Cairo strongly supports the legal demands of the victims to have full judicial investigation at the highest level possible with the full participation of the Bar Association to determine the legal accountability for these dreadful murders in order to get the culprits to the deserved trial before the independent judiciary, compensate the victims, and ensure the rule of law. The Organization calls for the Sudan Government and the NDA partners to start their peace agreement with full commitment to the human rights of citizens and the rule of law by the immediate establishment of this important committee. FROM SHRO-CAIRO January 30, 2005 Press Release Under Emergency Law, Grave Violations in Port Sudan by the Police Force On January the 29th, the Sudan Police Force brutalized a group of the Beja Congress supporters who had been peacefully demonstrating with other demonstrators in the streets of Port Sudan. Preliminary reports mentioned the extra-judicial killing of 3 citizens by police firearms and the serious injury of many others, including children. Judged by the attitude of the police towards the demonstrators, including the rapid suppression of the peaceful assembly by immediate, direct, and maximum use of firearms, the unlawful actions of the police recalled the fire-squads the government troops previously exercised to suppress the public in many cities of the country as well as the bombing of villages in war zones. The Organization believes that the reported brutality of the Sudan Police was made possible by the continuous state of emergency, which the president and his national council recently renewed, and the direct orders by the ministry of interior, the commissioner of police, and the chief police officers in the city of Port Sudan who allowed the massacre of Port Sudan demonstrators in gross violation of international law and the Sudan criminal procedure. SHRO-Cairo asks the government to: · End the State of Emergency which continues to legalize authority abuses by the government forces against the fundamental freedoms and human rights of people; · Allow uninterrupted exercise of the right to peaceful assembly, demonstration, and the other public freedoms indiscriminately to all citizens or political groups; · Conduct an immediate judicial investigation by a legally-competent committee, including membership of the Bar Association, to investigate the involvement of the ministry of interior and the police force headquarters in Khartoum and Port Sudan in the massacres of the peaceful demonstrators in the city of Port Sudan. The committee should take full consideration of all legal claims by the victimized citizens or their legal or political representatives. · Release to the Press and the international community results of the findings. · Deal with the wrong-doers by the Independent Judiciary in accordance with the law, regardless of any religious, political, or administrative status.
