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 Darfur, 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:



i) Abolish the death penalty in Sudan

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

iii) 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

100,000 people will perish due to the targeted destruction of water sites and food stores by government-aligned forces throughout Darfur.

STOP the government of Sudan moves immediately to stop further slaughter and ethnic cleansing, and allow unhindered international humanitarian assistance, the Security Council must be prepared to authorize the use of force, if necessary, to protect those catastrophically at risk.
