Darfur: Arrest of Woman Activist and a Lawyer in Nyala
On 29 July 2004, the National Security Agency (NSA) in Nyala arrested Ms. Buthayna Mohamed Ahmed, 36 yrs, from the Fur tribe, a teacher and an activist in the Sudan Women Union, an organisation associated with the Sudanese government and the Popular National Congress. Ms. Buthayna was arrested from her house in Nyala at 1 pm and taken to the security offices in Nyala where she was detained for one day. On 30 July she was transferred to Nyala General Prison.
It is alleged that she was arrested because she made calls for peace and disarmament of the militias in Darfur through the Sudan Women Union in Nyala. Ms. Buthayna has been denied visits and no official charges have been brought against her.
In a separate incident, on 31 July 2004, the NSA in Nyala arrested Mr. Nourain Mohamed Yousif, 31 yrs, lawyer from the Zaghawa tribe. He was arrested from his office in Nyala at 11 am and taken to the security offices, where he is being detained. He faces no official charge and has been denied visits. He was arrested on suspicion of joining the armed opposition.
There are serious concerns that Ms. Buthayna Mohamed Ahmed and Mr. Nourain Mohamed Yousif may be at risk of torture as there have been several reports of torture during detention in Nyala.
SOAT condemns these arbitrary arrests of Ms. Buthayna Mohamed Ahmed and Mr. Nourain Mohamed Yousif and urges the Government of Sudan to:
Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of Ms. Buthayna Mohamed Ahmed and Mr. Nourain Mohamed Yousif.
Order their immediate release 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 they have 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:
