Quote: Sudanese Government Security Men Detained 15 Students Incommunicado and 6 of its Militia Men Raped 13 Years Old Girl May 5, 2003 The Sudan Human Rights Organization in Canada has received information that Kawthar Yagoob (13 years old girl) was raped in Kargula (Western Darfur Region) by six armed men from the Janjaweed paramilitary troops that have been used by the Sudanese government to destroy the indigenous African population of the region. Kawthar was raped on Monday, April 28, 2003 and she is now in a very difficult psychological situation. In another related incident, Sudanese security forces have severely beaten and detained incommunicado the following students from Zalingi University in Western Darfur Region: 1. Hana’ Mohamed Ali (female) 2. Um Al Hassan Sharoofa (female) 3. Mwahib Ali (female) 4. ‘Asha Sharoofa (female) 5. Huda Dawood (female) 6. Mohamed Alhassan Rahma (male) 7. Hassan Harri (male) 8. Mohamed Ahmed Khalid (male) 9. Dawood Abdelrahman (male) 10. Abdel-Azim Daw Albeit (male) 11. Atteib (male) 12. Tagelsir (male) 13. Ashraf Alhilo (male) 14. Haythem Samba (male) 15. Alnoor (male) The students were arrested on Thursday, May 1, 2003 and were severely beaten before being held incommunicado. As we have underlined in an earlier statement, the Sudanese government is using famine as a weapon to destroy population of many areas in Darfur. For example, government forces destroyed hundreds of villages and displaced over 50,000 people in Jabel Marra, Kutum, Kornoye, Tina, Wadi Saleh and areas towards the northwest of Gineina. About 3,000 people (most Fur) were forced to flee their villages in Wadi Saleh to Chad between March 15 and 19, 2003 after units of paramilitary militia Janjaweed supported by government troops stationed in the area killed over 26 people, injured several others, and burned their villages. Two or three weeks after this incident the Vice President, Ali Osman Taha visited Southern Darfur Region with a plan of settling Arab tribes whose men formed the paramilitary Janjaweed in the areas whose population were relocated. Moreover, after the incident of Fashir on April 25, 2003 government authorities have arbitrarily arrested hundreds of innocent civilians (mostly from the Fur and Zagawa), labeled them the fifth column and detained them incommunicado. The Sudan Human Rights Organization in Canada appeals to both international human rights and aid organizations to intervene and rescue the innocent civilians in Darfur before it is too late.

Sudan: Crisis in Darfur - urgent need for international commission of inquiry and monitoring


As the situation in Darfur, western Sudan, worsens Amnesty International is calling for Darfur to be included in the human rights monitoring set up under the Sudan peace process. In addition, an independent international commission of inquiry should be sent to Darfur to investigate the deteriorating situation.
"At a time when peace talks are taking place to end a 20-year conflict which has caused two million deaths and 4.5 million displaced persons, the international community must not watch in silence while the choice of a military solution for human rights problems drags another area of Sudan into disaster," the organization said.
Over the past few years nomad groups from the area have killed hundreds of civilians from sedentary agricultural groups in Darfur, such as the Fur, Zaghawa and Masalit, burning homes and #####ng cattle and goats.
In the latest tragic incident on 23 April, armed members of nomad groups, some of whom were wearing uniforms and said to be members of a government militia, attacked men around the mosque at the market of Mulli in West Darfur, 15 kilometres south of the state capital Geneina. They killed some 55 people, wounded at least 20 and looted or killed domestic animals.
On Friday, 25 April a demonstration in Geneina, protesting at the killings and the failure to arrest those responsible, burnt the governor’s office; the security forces killed one demonstrator and arrested a number of people including Munira Hassan Taj al-Din, who reportedly led the demonstration. At least one policeman was also killed.
Thousands of villagers have reportedly fled their villages since 11 April after attacks by government forces and government-organized Arab militias fighting against the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA - formed in February by members of sedentary groups in the region) in the area of Kutum, in North Darfur. There are reports of food supplies growing short, but as a result of the military presence in the area, it is extremely difficult to get information about those who have fled their villages. Now Kutum is under curfew from sunrise to sunset, telephones are cut and checkpoints have been set up on the roads in the area.
On 25 April the SLA attacked the military airport at El Fasher the capital of North Darfur, reportedly damaging two Antonovs and four Apache helicopters.
"A conflict, which no one wants and which could be solved by clear recommendations and human rights protection mechanisms, must not be allowed to escalate," said Amnesty International. "The international community must act!"
Amnesty International’s delegates visited El Fasher in January 2003 and discussed the situation with representatives of the Sudan Government, people from villages which had suffered attacks and local lawyers. Amnesty International subsequently called on the Sudan Government in February to set up an independent commission of inquiry and implement its recommendations. The call was widely welcomed by people in Darfur and outside.
However, this opportunity to clarify the complex factors which have led to the present deteriorating situation and to identify human rights mechanisms to protect the people was lost.
"The people of Sudan should not suffer more war with more human rights abuse and suffering. A speedy and impartial international inquiry into the complex causes of the crisis, which can make authoritative recommendations in line with human rights principles to end it, could bring an immediate cease fire."
An independent international Commission of Inquiry could be set up by the African Union or the United Nations General Assembly or Security Council. The investigation should be properly resourced and members of the commission should be independent with a good knowledge of the region and its problems. All authorities concerned should be obliged to cooperate fully with the investigation, and grant it free access to people, places and documents it wishes to examine. Its findings should be made public and recommendations implemented.
In the context of the peace talks the Sudan Government agreed to allow an independent international Commission of Inquiry to be set up to investigate abductions and accusations of slavery in the context of the civil war.
"Serious independent inquiries can find out the complex factors which have caused human rights abuses in the region and suggest human rights mechanisms to solve them," Amnesty International said.

Background
Although at first the Sudan Government seemed to seek a peaceful solution to the situation in Darfur - the Sudan National Assembly set up an emergency committee on Darfur and a consultative assembly of citizens of Darfur made recommendations to solve the conflict peacefully - at the end of March the government said demands by the Sudan Liberation Army (formed by sedentary groups in the region) were too high and it had decided to solve the conflict by military means.
In April, after intense lobbying by the Sudan government, the UN Commission on Human Rights voted against the mandate of the Special Rapporteur on the Sudan who reported to the UN on the human rights situation in Sudan and whose reports raised the deteriorating situation in Darfur. The loss of the UN Special Rapporteur further jeopardises outside monitoring of human rights violations in Sudan.
Peace negotiations are continuing in Kenya under the auspices of the Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and international mediators. But Darfur, in northern Sudan, is not included in the peace talks, nor in the monitoring which is to accompany the peace.

of Darfour, were sentence to death by hanging after being convicted of armed robbery (Haraba) under

.



The use of the death penalty as a punishment has increased sharply over the last year in Sudan.
Almost all of the instances of the death penalty being given as a sentence or actually carried out
however, have occurred in the Darfour region of the country.

Since April 2002, 19 men from Darfour have been executed, all of them for the offence of armed
robbery (‘harraba’) which, under Sudan’s interpretation of Shari’a law, is punishable by death by
hanging or death by hanging followed by crucifixion. Crimes for which individuals have been
executed include banditry and bank robbery. In addition, there are at least another 133 people from
Darfour who have been sentenced to the death penalty and are awaiting execution. It is notable that
death sentences are now being carried out with increasing frequency where before they were handed
down by the courts but rarely executed.



Death sentences are meted out by Special Courts unique to Darfour which were established in the
North and South of the province in May 2001 to deal with offences such as armed robbery, murder
and possession and smuggling of weapons. However, the crime which has most frequently been
punished by use of the death penalty over the last year has been that of armed robbery. This crime
is dealt with under article 168 of Sudan’s 1991 Penal “



Standards for trials in the Special Courts in Darfour fall far short of international standards: they are headed
by two military judges and one civil judge and do not allow legal representation for the accused until the
appeal stage of proceedings. Under international human rights standards, people charged with crimes
punishable by death are entitled to the strictest observance of fair trial guarantees and to certain additional
guarantees. Such guarantees are ignored wholesale by the Special Courts in Darfour, whose procedures and
sentences are inconsistent with international human rights law and Sudan's international obligations, in
particular under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) which Sudan has ratified
and the United Nations' Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment or
Punishment (CAT) which the Government of Sudan has signed



SOAT is unconditionally opposed to the death penalty and strongly condemns its use by the
Government of Sudan. SOAT is gravely concerned by executions occurring in Darfour, and by the
procedures of the Special Courts, which do not comply with international or national standards for
fair trials. In its meeting with Sudanese Government officials in March 2002, SOAT highlighted the
problem of these Special Courts, emphasizing the fact that they are unconstitutional according to
Sudanese law, and urged the Government to prohibit them and abolish the death penalty in the
country.



SOAT strongly urges the Government of Sudan to



i) Abolish the death penalty in Sudan

ii) End the use of Special Courts in Darfour

iii) Ensure respect for rights to fair trial and to legal appeal in accordance with international
human rights standards, for all detainees throughout Sudan

iv) Guarantee respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms throughout Sudan in
accordance with national laws and international human rights standards

Sudan Organisation Against Torture





SOAT Press Release: 7 May 2003



Arrest and Torture of a journalist



A number of security personal, from the National Security Agency, have arbitrary arrested Yousif Al
Bashier Mousa, 35 years old, a reporter for the Al Sahafa daily newspaper in Nyala, resident in
Khartoum Bilayil ( Khartoum at night) neighbourhood , Nyala. Yousef is disabled with his left leg is
amputated.



His arrest took place on Saturday, 3rd May 2003 by 3 from Nyala stadium by 3 security officers,
their names:

Ahmed Mousa
Usama
Walied

He was taken to the National Security Offices north of the Nyala industrial park. He was detained in
cell, measuring 2m* 1m. The cell had little ventilation and he was sleeping on the concrete. He was
provided with only 2 meals over the period of four days and was deprived from going to the toilet
during his detention.



He was taken every night at 10pm for interogration. He was interrogated at gunpoint and threatened
with rape and damage to his able-bodied leg. He was repeatedly beaten and punched on his face
and abdominal area; they also used sticks to beat at the sole of his feet and shoulders.

dressed in a military uniform.



On 6th May, he was allowed to received medical treatment, Dr Abd Al Rahman Ahmed Hassan
conducted this. The medical report confirmed that Yousif was tortured. His Lawyer Mossa’ed
Mohamed Ali pledged an appeal for Yousif to be charged or released immediately.



Yousif was interrogated about his activities and information he sent to Al Sahafa newspaper.



Background



Despite the formal ending of press censorship in Sudan in December 2002, official pressure and
restrictions on the media has continued. The government has censored independent newspapers
more than a dozen times over the past year. The authorities have drawn what has been termed a
‘red line’ to newspapers about the following issues:



The peace process
Abduction of women and children
Arrests and releases of political activities or human rights defenders
Any information or news about the security forces
Any news or information about the Popular National Congress and its leader, Hassan Al
Turabi
And recently any information or news on Darfour current confilict



In addition to these issues, restrictions have also been brought to bear on newspapers for their
handling of the October student demonstrations, and of sexual health issues, notably female
circumcision.



SOAT condemns the continuing restrictions on freedom of expression in Sudan and urges the
Government to:



i) Cease the imposition of suspensions, pre-printing and post-printing censorship on newspapers,
and allow full freedom of expression in accordance with international human rights standards.

ii) Allow proper research, discussion and dissemination of information on issues related to press
freedom

iii) Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms throughout Sudan in
accordance with national laws and international human rights standards.



The above recommendations should be sent in appeals to the following addresses:

His Excellency Lieutenant General Omar Hassan al-Bashir

بعد أحداث الفاشر الأخيرة :

إجراءات أمنية ضد أبناء دارفور داخل و خارج السودان

إعتقال لهيئة شورى الزغاوة و إطلاق سراح علي نور الخلا لأنه مؤتمر وطني وثم اعادة اعتقاله مرة تانية مما يدل على التخبط في الاجهزة الامنية مع العلم بان على أحمد تور الخلاء من كوادر الانقاذ وهو مدير عام البنك الزراعي السوداني سابقا



بدأت السلطات الأمنية وهي في حالة هستريا حداث من هول المفاجاة بعد أحداث الفاشر الدامية ، بدأت في إتخاذ إجراءات أمنية ظالمة ضد أبناء دارفور بالعاصمة و الأقاليم . فلقد إعتقلت السلطات كل من علي شمار و سليمان جاموس و إسماعيل بشير عربي و حبيب مصطفى و الدكتور عبد الرحمن بشارة دوسة . ولقد تم إطلاق سراح علي نور الخلا بعد إحتجازه لعدة ساعات بعد أن تبينوا أن المعتقل هو مؤتمر وطني و ليس عضواً بالمؤتمر الشعبي.

كما داهمت السلطات الأمنية منازل عدد من قادة المؤتمر الشعبي في ظل غيابهم عن منازلهم وهم أحمد آدم بخيت و عبد الحليم آدم صبي و عبد العزيز عسكر و أنور جبارة وهم أعضاء في هيئة شورى أبناء الزغاوة.

و الغريب أنهم عندما لم يعثروا على المجاهد أنور جبارة قاموا بإحتجاز عدد من افراد أسرته و أخذوهم معهم و ضربوهم ثم ألقوا بهم في الشوارع ليعودوا أدراجهم دون ذنب إرتكبوه.

مصادر مطلعة أكدت لآخر لحظة أن زيارة النائب الأول إلى لندن و زيارة الرئيس المصري حسني مبارك للخرطوم و زيارة مدير مخابرات دولة أجنبية قبل إسبوع للخرطوم تأتي في إطار ملاحقة أبناء دارفور خارج السودان و توجيه تهمة الإرهاب إليهم وقد تصل إلى المطالبة بطردهم من بريطانيا و ألمانيا أو سحب جوازات السفر عنهم و إتهامهم بالخيانة العظمى.

نتتامن مع كل مظاليم الاقاليم
ونطالب الحكومة بان تلافع يدها عن الشعب السوداني

اوقفوا الاعتقالات في مدن دارفور الباسلة
اوقفوا الاعتقالات في الخرطوم الصامدة

اوقفوا حكلات التعذيب والتصفية
ارفغوا ايديكم عن شعبنا
