Subject: Use of systematic torture from Dark Era of Early Nineties

Sudan Organisation Against Torture
Statement 9 June 2003
Sudanese Government Resumes Use of systematic torture from Dark Era of Early Nineties
Since the termination of the mandate for the UN Special Rapporteur for Sudan in late April 2003, the Sudanese government has stepped-up its systematic use of torture against students, political opponents and activists and especially those from the volatile region of Darfour. SOAT can confirm that the current patterns of torture being implemented are similar to those which were put into practice by GOS in the dark era of the early nineties. In fact, the Sudanese government has gone as far as to revert to the use of secret detention centres or "ghost houses" as a means of counteracting any form of opposition or suspected dissidence. SOAT is gravely concerned that these gross human rights violations are taking place and strongly condemns the use of torture against Sudanese citizens. SOAT urges that these instances of torture must be thoroughly investigated and the perpetrators brought to justice.
Below are two personal testimonies which illustrate the current events clearly:
a)Shazly ‘Abd Alfattah Ibrahim (m), is a 21 year- old student at AL- Nilein University. He is in his third year of a law degree and lives in the Kalakala district of Southern Khartoum. His political affiliation is with the Democratic Front. He was arrested on Wednesday 28 May 2003 at midnight from east Kalakala Street:
“A police patrol comprised of 6 police officers stopped and searched me. They found some documents belonging to the Democratic Front. I was arrested and taken to a house somewhere in between May Street and East Kalakala Street in a pick- up truck. They held me there from Friday 28 May until 31 May. During this period, I was interrogated and subjected to severe torture. They beat me with electric cables on my legs and other parts of my body and they used a wire to strangle me.
On Saturday 31 May at 9am, I was transferred to a National Security Agency (NSA) building on University Street where I remained until half past one in the afternoon. Then they moved me to the political section of the NSA buildings near Farough cemetery, where I was tortured by 4 security officers. They beat me with sticks on my legs and on the soles of my feet. They bashed my head against the wall until I collapsed, unconscious. Later they moved me, once again, to another building in the ‘Amaraat area- only I can’t remember what the time was. They kept me there until 2 June, when I was released.
I was specifically instructed not to visit a doctor or to contact any human rights organisations, otherwise I would be arrested again. Upon my release, however, I did go to a doctor who examined me and issued me with an ‘Ornake 8’ form”.
SOAT has obtained a copy of this medical report which is used for reporting incidences of torture and in this report, Dr. Ahmad Hamad confirms the extent of Shazly’s injuries. It states that his right foot was swollen, that injuries were sustained to his nose and left leg. He sustained severe bruising on his back and forehead, as well as cuts and bruises to his left ear. An x- ray which was carried out on his right leg indicated that there was no fracturing. His condition was considered stable, with no further complications.
b)Below is the testimony of Ahmad Mohammedein Waadi, a 35 year- old self- employed owner of a pharmaceutical store. He was arrested from his shop in Maleet on 6 May 2003 and later set free on 18 May:
“I was arrested by about 14 members of the Security Forces who came in a pick- up truck. They searched the shop and confiscated some vitamins. The President of the Security Forces was called Said.
They drove me to their offices in Maleet, where they interrogated me as to whether I had any relationship with the SLA . They claimed that I got into their vehicle and had described the government establishments to them. There was no opportunity to defend myself against these accusations when we were at the military base in Maleet
They took me to a room which was 3m x 3m in size. There was only one person , by the name of ‘Abdallah ‘Ali. In the room, they tied me up. They tied my hands behind my back and began to beat me. Five people participated in my beating with whips and electrical wires, punching and kicking me until I passed out. They continued to beat me randomly for a quarter of an hour, until I came to. Then they resumed beating me once again. During the beatings they swore at me and cursed. They threatened to rape my wife and sisters and they humiliated me. They poured water on my wounds, where they had beaten me. This continued for two days.
I remained at the Maleet barracks for two days altogether. Throughout this time, I only left the cell once in order to go to the bathroom. They used to bring us fool sandwiches twice a day and water constantly. At the end of the two days, they took me to Al- Fasher City’s Military Intelligence buildings, where I remained in a relatively large 5m x 5m cell for three days.
We came across a group of 11 people there. The beatings at the hands of the military Intelligence were irregular. They would beat us if we made any request- for example if we needed to use the bathroom they would whip us between about 10 to 15 times. The same would happen if we asked for some water. The humiliations were constant and it reached a point where I was threatened with rape.
There were three others in my cell at Maleet:
‘Abdallah ‘Ali (f)
Idris Hamed (f)
Ibrahim Mustafa (f)
‘Abdallah, Idris and I were deprived of sleep. They would ask us to sit and stare at the walls.
After three days with the El- Fasher Military Intelligence, they transferred us to the military prison. At the moment we arrived there, each one of us endured between 10 and 15 lashes of the whip. Then they put us into two cells 4m X 4m in size.
Our cell had 5 people other people in it already, so we totalled 8 people altogether. We spent 7 days in the military prison, during which time the whipping ceased. The ventilation was poor, we had one light and we were allowed to go to the bathroom once a day. We were fed twice a day- a meal which consisted of some water, bread
and salt. The water was rationed to two cups a day. We had no change of clothes or washing facilities.
As a result of the beatings I sustained on my face and back, I am currently receiving treatment for pain in those areas. One of the people with me- ‘Abdallah ‘Ali- was tortured by beating him on the head and forehead. His wounds became infected and his forehead swollen after they beat him with a water- pipe on his forehead. He was released at the same time as us. They told him to go straight to Maleet, where he lives in the district of Tadaamun. He works in Mohammad Hamed’s garage there.
Idris Hamed was also with me. He was beaten with a stick until his hand was broken.”
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights states in Article 5 that
'No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.' The International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights states in Article 7: 'No one shall be subjected to torture or to cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or
punishment.'
SOAT is gravely concerned about the increasing use of arbitrary arrest and subsequent torture at the hands of the Sudanese authorities. SOAT is also concerned about the authorities' use of arbitrary arrests, detention and torture as a
means of stifling political opposition in Sudan. Furthermore, SOAT
fears that the alleged perpetrators of these acts will not be brought to justice and that these two victims will not be awarded adequate compensation.
SOAT urgently request the GOS to
1- order a thorough and impartial investigation into the circumstances of these events and guarantee that those responsible are brought to trial and that the penal, civil and/or administrative sanctions are applied as provided by law;
2- guarantee adequate reparation to Shazly ‘Abd Alfattah Ibrahim and Ahmad Mohammedein Waadi
3- guarantee the respect of human rights and the fundamental freedoms throughout the country in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards,
