Darfur: 16 men at risk of being hanged
On 1 January 2005, Military Intelligence in Nyala arrested twelve men from the Birgid tribe from Doumma village, 12 Km North of Nyala. The men are accused of supporting the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA) and of committing crimes against state. Their details are as follows:

The twelve men were reportedly tortured by the Military Intelligence during their arrest and on the way to Nyala. They beat the men with their hands and kicked them with their boots. The twelve detainees were initially taken to the military intelligence offices in Nyala and detained there for 1 day.
On 2 January 2005, the men were transferred to Nyala Wasat (central) police station where they were officially charged under articles 51 (Waging War against the State) and article 58 (Abetment of Mutiny) of the 1991 Penal Code.
Following the official charges, the men were transferred to Nyala prison where they remain in detention.
In a separate incident, on 30 November 2004, the Armed forces arrested four men from Adwa village, 47 km North of Nyala, Southern Darfur state. The men were arrested from their homes following an earlier arrest of 19 people ranging in age from 21 to 85 belonging to the Fur and Dajo tribe from their homes and on the streets in Adwa village by the armed forces and the Janjaweed (militias) in Land Rovers on 28 November 2004.
The four men are accused of supporting the SLA, their details are as follows:
Idreas Adam Abdella, 60 yrs Mohamed Ahmed Ahmed Abdella, 35 yrs Abdella tairab Saif Aldeen, 28 yrs Ibraheam Soulieman Abaker, 33 yrs
The men were initially detained at Nyala Wasat (central) police station where they were officially charged under article 51 and article 58 of the 1991 Penal Code.
On 7 December 2004, the four detainees were transferred to Nyala prison where they remain in detention.
SOAT is unconditionally opposed to the death penalty and strongly condemns its use by the Government of Sudan. SOAT is gravely concerned by the arbitrary arrest and detention of civilians in Darfur perceived as sympathising with armed opposition groups in Darfur.
SOAT strongly urges the Government of Sudan to:
Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of all the detainees
Investigate allegations of torture and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Abolish the death penalty in Sudan.
Ensure respect for rights to fair trial and to legal appeal in accordance with international human rights standards, for all detainees throughout Sudan.
Guarantee respect for 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:

Darfur: IDPs from Outash IDP Camp facing the death penalty
On 5, 7, 8 and 9th January 2005, the police and the security forces arrested 7 Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) from Outash camp, North of Nyala. The arrest followed the death of a police officer on 5 January 2005 in the camp during disturbances following attempts to force the IDPs to leave the camp and return to their villages. The men were initially detained at Nyala Wasat (central) police station where they were officially charged with murder under article 130 of the 1991 Penal Code. The details of the detainees are as follows:
Khamees Musa, arrested on 9 January 05 Abdella Ishag Mohamed, arrested on 8 January 05 Abdel Aziz Ahmed Ali, arrested on 7 January 05 Ahmed Mohamed Khaleel, arrested on 5 January 05 Adam Altahir Abdella, arrested on 5 January 05 Adam Rasheed Mohamed, arrested on 5 January 05 Omer Rasheed Mohamed, 5 January 05
During the arrest, the police officers reportedly tortured the IDPs. The 7 men were beaten with sticks all over their bodies.
The 7 men remain in detention at Nyala prison.
Background
The later half of 2004 saw an escalation in violent attacks on IDPs in camps by security and police forces as part of strategic attempts to forcefully remove them from these camps back to their homes or to ‘safe designated areas’. IDPs that protested or refused to return to villages that were not their original villages, and to their original villages that were unsafe were summarily arrested, detained and tortured. The violence has decreased somewhat with the signing of the Abuja Protocols in November 2004.
SOAT urges the government of Sudan to refrain from returning to the policy of force returns of IDPs. Forceful relocation or return of IDPs and refugees is against all international humanitarian laws and the Protocol Additional to the Geneva Conventions of 12 August 1949, and relating to the Protection of Victims of Non-International Armed Conflicts (Protocol II), 8 June 1977. Furthermore, article 2 of the Abuja Protocols (‘Protection of Civilians’) of the humanitarian accords requires all parties to the agreement to “ensure that the principle of voluntary return is fully respected and is not tampered with in any shape or form, consistent with general UN return principles”.
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, and by the procedures of these Criminal Courts, which do not comply with international or national standards for fair trials.
SOAT strongly urges the Government of Sudan to:
Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of all the detainees
Investigate allegations of torture and bring the perpetrators to justice.
Abolish the death penalty in Sudan.
Ensure respect for rights to fair trial and to legal appeal in accordance with international human rights standards, for all detainees throughout Sudan.
Guarantee respect for human rights and fundamental freedoms throughout Sudan in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards
