المنظمة السودانية لمناهضة التعذيب

Quote: Mr Masahiko Koumura, Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan C/o Embassy of Japan in the United States 2520 Massachusetts Avenue, N.W., Washington, DC 20008 (Main) Tel: 202-238-6700 Fax: 202-328-2187 [email protected] We received with deep regret the news that the Government of Japan has invited Mr. Nafi Ali Nafi, the First Assistant to the President of Sudan Omar al-Bashir. We strongly believe that your esteemed government is making a mistake by inviting such person whom is known for his bloody history since his political Party seized power in 1989. Mr. Nafi is personally responsible of creating a government-run paralegal torture system known in Sudan as the Ghost Houses. Mr. Nafi has supervised and personally participated in the torture of many political dissidents. Mr. Nafi Managed to stop any law suits that brought against him in Sudan however; testimonies of his victims were circulated to all human rights orgs worldwide. The Government of Japan can make a historic contribution to human rights by taking strong action and refrain from any negotiation with such character that by no means could represent the people of Sudan. We should not allow the perpetrators of these heinous crimes to claim impunity from international law. Sincerely, (your name here)
