SOAT Press Release: 30 July 2004
Darfur: Human Rights defender Arrested
On 24 July 2004, Mr. Aba Zer Ahmed Abu Al Bashir from Berti tribe, 42 yrs, a lawyer and human rights defender, was arrested by the security forces from his office in Nyala.
It is alleged that Mr. Aba Zer was arrested due to his activities in human rights. Mr. Aba Zer was arrested, as well as ten other peace activists and tribal leaders in Southern Darfur, after the submission of a memorandum to the Governor of Southern Darfur state to put an end to the conflict in the state eight days earlier.
He is currently being detained at the security Offices in Nyala with no official charges against him. He has been denied any visits.
SOAT believes that Mr. Aba is being detained solely for the peaceful expression of his opinions and human rights activities.
Background
In recent months there has been an increase in the number of human rights defenders and activists being targeted and subjected to arbitrary arrest and detention by the security forces, especially in Darfur. On 16 June 2004, Mr. Adel Abdullah Nasir Aldeain Saeed, a lawyer with SOAT network in Nyala, was arrested by the security forces from his office. Mr. Adel remains in detention, and he has not been charged with any offence.
Also, on 5 May 2004, security forces in Zalingy arrested and detained Osman Adam Abdel Mawla, a human rights activist working for Sudan Social Development Organisation (SUDO), Nyala branch, a locally registered Non-Governmental Organisation (NGO).
SOAT urges Sudan to respect its obligations as a party to the African Charter, which under Article 6 states “no one may be arbitrarily arrested or detained.” In addition, Sudan is state party to the UN Declaration of Human Rights which under Article 9 provides, “No one shall be subjected to arbitrary arrest, detention or exile.”
SOAT condemns these arbitrary arrests of human rights defenders and urges the Government of Sudan to put an end to the harassment and detention of all human rights activists and urges the Government of Sudan to:
Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of Aba Zer Ahmed Abu Al Bashir.
To allow them immediate and unrestricted access to his family and any medical treatment that he may need
Order the immediate release of Aba Zer Ahmed Abu Al Bashir in the absence of valid legal charges, or if legitimate charges exist, bring them before an impartial tribunal and guarantee procedural rights at all times.
Ensure that Aba Zer Ahmed Abu Al Bashir has access to legal advice
Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of association throughout Sudan in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards.
The above recommendations should be sent in appeals to the following addresses:
