? What sparked your interest in human rights
MONIM: I first learned about human rights through my involvement in the student movements at university. During my final year at the University of Khartoum, human rights violations against students were taking place, and one of my colleagues was arrested. The next day we found his body on the street.
ALI: In secondary school I joined a small group of students, the Democratic Front, calling for students’ rights. That was when I started to know about rights and defending people, and speaking on behalf of your colleagues and your own people. I continued with the Democratic Front at university. In those days, many of our colleagues were arrested and tortured.
The atmosphere at the university was very hostile. So when I graduated from the faculty of law, I started to defend people and then I joined the Sudanese Human Rights Defenders Group, the first human rights organisation in Sudan. In 2000, I trained in human rights at the African Centre for Democracy and Human Rights Studies in Gambia.
