The Sudan Government has severely brutalized student demonstrations protesting war and emergency law in Khartoum.



Reliable sources informed the Organization that the security forces arbitrarily arrested, tortured, and detained in clandestine detention centers these citizens:



Yasir Mohamed al-Hassan

Adil al-Shaikh

Khalil Daoud

Fathi Moahmed al-Hassan



SHRO-Cairo strongly condemns the Sudan Government as a worst violator of human rights. The government forces extra-judicially killed a student and wounded many others protesting war in peaceful demonstration these past days.



SHRO-Cairo is gravely concerned for the health conditions of the detained citizens who have been kidnapped from the work place or residential area for political reasons by the security forces of the regime.



The Organization asks the government to immediately release the detainees from jail, reinstate them in their jobs, and abide-by international norms that call for the full respect of people’s right to peaceful assembly and the freedom of _expression.
