Quote: PUBLIC AI Index: AFR 54/021/2003 UA 102/03 Fear of torture / incommunicado detention 15 April 2003 SUDAN Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid (m), aged 29, auditor Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid was arrested at 2pm on 14 April by members of the national security forces whilst at work in United Industry in Khartoum North. He was allegedly taken to the offices of the National Security near Farouk cemetery in Khartoum for interrogation. He is being held in incommunicado detention, where he is at risk of torture or ill-treatment. Armed members of the security forces reportedly came to Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid's home two weeks prior to his arrest whilst he was away. They searched his house and took away some books. They returned regularly in order to question his family about his whereabouts. Detainees who have been arrested by the National Security have frequently been tortured and then transferred to a secret political wing of Kober Prison in Khartoum. They may be held for prolonged periods without access to lawyers or family and it is feared that Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid may suffer the same fate. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible, in English and Arabic or your own language: - expressing grave concern for the safety of Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid, who was detained by the Sudanese security forces on 14 April and has not been seen since; - calling on the authorities to immediately reveal the whereabouts of Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid and to give assurances that he will not be tortured or otherwise ill treated; - urging the authorities to allow Ammar Hassanain Abdel-Sid immediate and unrestricted access to his relatives, legal counsel and any medical aid he may need; - calling on the authorities to abide by its commitments under Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and either charge the detainee with a recognizably criminal offence and give him a prompt and fair trial in accordance with international standards or set him free immediately.

They are being held incommunicado at Shala prison near El Fasher town, North Darfur province, and may be at risk of torture or other ill-treatment. The men were initially detained by security personnel in Kabkabia town, North Darfur province, before their transfer to Shala prison. Government security forces have secretly used torture against detainees suspected of supporting opposition political groups while in custody. It is thought that the men, who come from the Fur and Zaghawa ethnic groups, may have been detained in connection with recent armed clashes between government forces and a new armed group operating in Darfur, calling itself the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA). The SLA claimed it had killed dozens of soldiers and seized their vehicles. The government has neither confirmed nor denied the claim. Khalil Mohammed Din was previously arrested with other Fur community leaders by the security forces in May 2002, after groups of nomads attacked the village of Shoba and killed 17 people. He and other Fur detainees were released without charge in August 2002. He told Amnesty International delegates in Darfur that the detainees had been detained in poor conditions and had not even been interrogated. BACKGROUND INFORMATION The Sudan Liberation Army has been fighting government forces since early February 2003. It accuses the government of keeping Darfur, a remote area that borders Chad in the western part of the country, under-developed and marginalized. Farming communities in the region, comprised of ethnic groups such as the Fur and the Zaghawa, have clashed regularly with cattle and camel herders over scarce water resources and pasture.

من اسرة وهبت نفسها لخدمة الآخرين فى مجال العلم
والده استاذ حسنين
وامه الاستاذة سميرة بت محجوب

وعمه الشهيد الفاتح عبد السيد حسنين
يشرفنى ان اجد اسمه بين طلائع المناضلين... يحملينى مسئوليتان.. مسئوليتى نحو اسرتى التى هو منها وانا ,مسئولية نحو وطنى لم اعرف هل احزن ام افتخر


ولن اجد من الكلام

طوقا على ذلك الصرح الذى تراكم طيلة الخمسة عشر من السنوات

فليحى نضال الشعب السودانى

لقد فقدنا

Over the past few years hundreds of civilians, mostly from agricultural ethnic groups like the Fur, Masalit and Zaghawa, have been killed or wounded. Their homes have been burnt, herds looted by nomadic groups and dozens of civilians have been killed in a single raid. In an increasingly deteriorating situation, members of the security services have also been killed.

UA 109/03 Fear of torture or ill-treatment/incommunicado detention/detention without charge/ possible prisoners of conscience

SUDAN Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan (m), aged 41, journalist, member of the Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party

Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan, a member of the Sudanese Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party, is being detained incommunicado at an unknown location and has reportedly been tortured. Amnesty International fears that he may be detained solely on account of his political affiliation, and he may therefore be a prisoner of conscience.

Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan, an occasional journalist for the newspaper Al-Ayam (The Days), was arrested at his home by national security personnel at 2.30pm on 22 March and taken to an unknown place of detention. He has been held incommunicado since his arrest and has reportedly been tortured in detention. He has not been charged with any offence.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION

The Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party split from the pro-Iraq Ba’ath Party in Sudan four years ago. The Arab Ba’ath Socialist Party is considered the fourth member of the National Democratic Alliance (NDA), the main opposition coalition in the Sudan, which has been engaged in armed opposition to the government of President Lieutenant-General Omer al-Bashir in the eastern Sudan.

Political opposition and freedom of expression, assembly and association are still severely curtailed for a number of opposition groups, particularly those with relations with the NDA. Under the State of Emergency Act and the National Security Forces Act, the security services can hold people in incommunicado detention without access to judicial review for up to nine months.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible, in English or your own language:
- expressing grave concern for the safety of Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan, detained on 22 March, and still without access;
- calling on the authorities to immediately reveal the whereabouts of Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan and to give assurances that he will not be tortured or ill-treated;
- calling on the authorities to investigate reports that Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan was tortured, to compensate him if this is found to be true and to bring anyone found to have used violence against him to justice;
- urging the authorities to allow Fathi Mohammad al-Hassan immediate and unrestricted access to his relatives, legal counsel and any medical treatment he may need;
- calling on the authorities to abide by their commitments under Article 9 of the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) to either charge the detainee with a recognizably criminal offence and give him a prompt and fair trial in accordance with international standards, or to set him free immediately.

UA 110/03 Fear of torture / incommunicado detention / detention without charge 23 April 2003

SUDAN Abubaker Hamed Nur (m)- engineer
Yusuf Mohammad Faleh (m) - engineer
Mohammad Bashir Ahmed (m)- civil servant
Bashir Bushara (m)- businessman
Hashem al-Tayeb (m) – businessman
Abdel Rahman Ahmad (m) - businessman
Mohammad Hashem Abdel Rahman (m) - businessman
Ibrahim Mohammad Hassan (m), 55 years old- photographer


The men named above were reportedly all detained in connection with the current conflict in Darfur, between Sudanese government forces and the armed opposition group the Sudan Liberation Army. Amnesty International is concerned that they may have been tortured or ill-treated in detention.

Abubaker Hamed Nur and Yusuf Mohammad Faleh were both arrested on 8 April in Khartoum and are reportedly being held in the special political section of Kober Prison. Mohammad Bashir Ahmed and Bashir Bushara were both arrested on 18 April in Geneina, West Darfur. Hashem al-Tayeb, Abdel Rahman Ahmad and Mohammad Hashem Abdel Rahman were also arrested in April. They are all from the Zaghawa group and are believed to be held in a security centre in Geneina.

Ibrahim Mohammad Hassan, is a member of the Fur group, photographer and the owner of a photography studio in Kabkabiya, in North Darfur. He was arrested on 19 April, in Kabkabiya and transferred to Shala Prison in El Fasher. It is not known exactly why the men were arrested, though a number of other individuals have been detained under similar circumstances, accused of having links with the Sudan Liberation Army.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Sudan Liberation Army has been fighting government forces since early February 2003. It accuses the government of keeping Darfur, an area that borders Chad in the western part of the country, under-developed and marginalized. Cattle and camel herders have attacked farming communities in the region, from ethnic groups such as the Fur and the Zaghawa, over scarce water resources and pasture. Dozens of villagers have been reportedly killed in such attacks; members of the security services and police were also killed. Over the past week at least three towns and villages have reportedly been attacked by the army in its actions against the Sudan Liberation Army.

Amnesty International recognizes the rights of governments to arrest individuals who have committed recognizable criminal offences but international human rights standards ratified by Sudan require that all those arrested should be brought promptly before a judge and charged. Under the State of Emergency and the National Security Act, amended in July 2001, the security services can keep people in prolonged detention for up to nine months without access to the judiciary or to relatives and lawyers.

السودان:حاجة ملحة لاستمرار مراقبة حقوق الإنسان

مراقبة حقوق الإنسان
منظمة العفو الدولية
بيان صحفي مشترك

(جنيف) دعت منظمة العفو الدولية ومراقبة حقوق الإنسان اليوم الأمم المتحدة إلى الحفاظ على وجودها على صعيد مراقبة حقوق الإنسان وتعزيزه في السودان، فيما تناقش لجنة حقوق الإنسان التابعة للأمم المتحدة في جنيف أوضاع حقوق الإنسان في "أي جزء من العالم."

وقالت المنظمتان إن "التغييرات الإيجابية التي تحققت في السودان جاءت إلى حد كبير نتيجة الضغط الدولي الذي مورس لاتخاذ خطوات حقيقية لوضع حد لانتهاكات حقوق الإنسان."

"ولا يجوز للأمم المتحدة أن تنهي عملية مراقبة حقوق الإنسان الآن في خضم المرحلة الانتقالية، وبخاصة أن بروتوكول السلام الذي وُقع في ماتشاكوس منذ أكثر من ثمانية أشهر لم يُترجم إلى اتفاقية سلام حتى الآن."

وقد حدث العديد من التغيرات الإيجابية منذ أن عينت لجنة حقوق الإنسان لأول مرة مقرراً خاصاً معنياً بأوضاع حقوق الإنسان في السودان قبل 10 سنوات، في مارس/آذار 1993. لكن مرة أخرى لم تُنفذ معظم التوصيات الواردة في القرار الصادر في العام الماضي.

ويشير تقرير المقرر الخاص المعني بالسودان للعام 2003 إلى أنه: "رغم الالتزامات التي قُدمت، ألا أن الوضع العام لحقوق الإنسان لم يشهد تحسناً." ويصف المقرر الخاص كيف أنه في المناطق الخاضعة لسيطرة الحكومة السودانية "يظل دور جهاز الأمن بوصفه الكيان الرئيسي المسؤول عن انتهاكات حقوق الإنسان، فضلاً عن الحصانة من العقاب التي يتمتع بها أفراد قوات الأمن، قضية تثير قلقاً شديداً."

وفي المناطق التي تسيطر عليها الحركة/الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان "لا توجد أية ضمانات فعلية لاحترام الحقوق الأساسية والحريات الجوهرية،"

وفي المناطق التي تسيطر عليها الحكومة يتواصل الاعتقال التعسفي والمطول للخصوم؛ والتعذيب؛ والمحاكمات الجائرة وبإجراءات مقتضبة والتي تعقبها عقوبات قاسية أو لا إنسانية أو مهينة؛ وانعدام حرية التعبير، والاشتراك في الجمعيات والاجتماع. وفي المناطق الخاضعة لسيطرة الحركة/الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان، يقول التقرير أن هناك "قيوداً قاسية على حرية الرأي والتعبير والكلام والتجمع والاشتراك في الجمعيات".

وأعلنت المنظمتان أنه "طوال السنوات العشر الماضية كان المقرر الخاص عاملاً مهماً من أجل التغيير؛ وشكلت زياراته المنتظمة المتعلقة بالمراقبة وتقاريره العلنية عصب الحياة بالنسبة لنشطاء وضحايا حقوق الإنسان السودانيين. وندعو إلى تجديد انتدابه".

وقد تواصلت انتهاكات حقوق الإنسان التي ارتُكبت في الحرب رغم التوقيع على وقف إطلاق النار في أكتوبر/تشرين الأول 2002. ومن الخطوات الإيجابية، التي اتُخذت نتيجة الضغط الخارجي، خلال العام المنصرم الاتفاق الذي تم التوصل إليه في مارس/آذار 2002، بين الحكومة السودانية والحركة/الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان بعدم استهداف المدنيين أو مهاجمة المرافق المدنية. وتولى مراقبة تنفيذه فريق المراقبة المعني بحماية المدنيين الذي شُكل في البداية من عسكريين أمريكيين، وعُزز فيما بعد ببعض الخبراء القطريين المدنيين وسواهم، الذين يتخذون من الخرطوم ورومبك مقرين لهم مع حق دخولهم بكل حرية إلى جميع أجزاء البلاد للتحقيق في الأنباء التي ترد حول عمليات القتل. وأشار التقرير الأخير لفريق المراقبة المعني بحماية المدنيين إلى أن الحكومة والميليشيا المتحالفة معها شنتا عدداً من الهجمات التي استهدفت المدنيين وأودت بحياتهم في المناطق الغنية بالنفط الواقعة جنوب بنتيو في يناير/كانون الثاني وشباط/فبراير 2003.

وعلقت المنظمتان بالقول إن " المراقبة وإصدار التقارير العلنية هما الطريقة الوحيدة لوضع حد للانتهاكات والحصانة من العقاب."

"لقد أن الأوان الآن لتوسيع عملية مراقبة حقوق الإنسان من جانب الأمم المتحدة وليس إنهائها".

ودعت منظمة العفو الدولية ومراقبة حقوق الإنسان لجنة حقوق الإنسان التابعة للأمم المتحدة إلى إصدار قرار حول السودان يجب أن يوضح التوصيات ويرسي الأساس لاحترام حقوق الإنسان والقانون الإنساني الدولي. وبوجه خاص حثتا اللجنة على التأكد من:
وجوب تجديد انتداب المقرر الخاص المعني بأوضاع حقوق الإنسان في السودان؛
وجوب تلقي مكتب المفوض السامي لحقوق الإنسان في السودان تمويلاً كافياً حتى يتسنى له مراقبة حقوق الإنسان في السودان بفعالية ويوسع أنشطته لتشمل المناطق التي تسيطر عليها الحركة/الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان ، بما في ذلك ضمان تمثيل كاف في جنوب البلاد.

ومن جملة أشياء ينبغي للقرار أن:

يدعو الحكومة السودانية والحركة/الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان إلى إصدار دعوة مفتوحة للآليات الموضوعية التابعة للجنة لزيارة السودان، وبخاصة المقرر الخاص المعني بالتعذيب، والمقرر الخاص المعني بالعنف ضد المرأة، والمقرر الخاص المعني بحرية التعبير؛ وممثل الأمين العام المعني بالأشخاص المهجرين داخلياً؛ والمجموعة العاملة المعنية بالاعتقال التعسفي.

يدعو الحكومة السودانية والحركة/الجيش الشعبي لتحرير السودان إلى ضمان حرية التعبير والاشتراك في الجمعيات والاجتماع، وبخاصة حق المجتمع المدني في التعليق على المسائل المتعلقة بعملية السلام؛

يدعو الحكومة السودانية إلى تشكيل لجنة تحقيق مستقلة في أوضاع حقوق الإنسان في درفور، ويجب نشر النتائج والتوصيات التي تتوصل إليها على الملأ وتنفيذها؛ ومعالجة الوضع الإنساني الملح لنحو 4.5 مليون شخص مهجر داخلياً والمباشرة بتنفيذ برنامج للعودة التطوعية مع توفير ضمانات بالحفاظ على أمنهم؛ ووضع حد لممارسة الاعتقال بمعزل عن العالم الخارجي لمنتقدي الحكومة.

Sudan: Crisis in Darfur - urgent need for international commission of
inquiry and monitoring


As the situation in Darfur, western Sudan, worsens Amnesty International
is calling for Darfur to be included in the human rights monitoring set up
under the Sudan peace process. In addition, an independent international
commission of inquiry should be sent to Darfur to investigate the
deteriorating situation.

"At a time when peace talks are taking place to end a 20-year
conflict which has caused two million deaths and 4.5 million displaced
persons, the international community must not watch in silence while the
choice of a military solution for human rights problems drags another area
of Sudan into disaster," the organization said.

Over the past few years nomad groups from the area have killed
hundreds of civilians from sedentary agricultural groups in Darfur, such as
the Fur, Zaghawa and Masalit, burning homes and #####ng cattle and goats.

In the latest tragic incident on 23 April, armed members of nomad
groups, some of whom were wearing uniforms and said to be members of a
government militia, attacked men around the mosque at the market of Mulli
in West Darfur, 15 kilometres south of the state capital Geneina. They
killed some 55 people, wounded at least 20 and looted or killed domestic
animals.

On Friday, 25 April a demonstration in Geneina, protesting at the
killings and the failure to arrest those responsible, burnt the governor’s
office; the security forces killed one demonstrator and arrested a number
of people including Munira Abdel Rahman Bahr al-Din, sister of the Sultan
of the Masalit, who reportedly led the demonstration. At least one
policeman was also killed.

Thousands of villagers have reportedly fled their villages since 11
April after attacks by government forces and government-organized Arab
militias fighting against the Sudan Liberation Army (SLA - formed in
February by members of sedentary groups in the region) in the area of
Kutum, in North Darfur. There are reports of food supplies growing short,
but as a result of the military presence in the area, it is extremely
difficult to get information about those who have fled their villages. Now
Kutum is under curfew from sunrise to sunset, telephones are cut and
checkpoints have been set up on the roads in the area.

On 25 April the SLA attacked the military airport at El Fasher the
capital of North Darfur, reportedly damaging two Antonovs and four Apache
helicopters.

"A conflict, which no one wants and which could be solved by clear
recommendations and human rights protection mechanisms, must not be allowed
to escalate," said Amnesty International. "The international community must
act!"

Amnesty International’s delegates visited El Fasher in January 2003
and discussed the situation with representatives of the Sudan Government,
people from villages which had suffered attacks and local lawyers. Amnesty
International subsequently called on the Sudan Government in February to
set up an independent commission of inquiry and implement its
recommendations. The call was widely welcomed by people in Darfur and
outside.

However, this opportunity to clarify the complex factors which have
led to the present deteriorating situation and to identify human rights
mechanisms to protect the people was lost.

"The people of Sudan should not suffer more war with more human
rights abuse and suffering. A speedy and impartial international inquiry
into the complex causes of the crisis, which can make authoritative
recommendations in line with human rights principles to end it, could bring
an immediate cease fire."

An independent international Commission of Inquiry could be set up by
the African Union or the United Nations General Assembly or Security
Council. The investigation should be properly resourced and members of the
commission should be independent with a good knowledge of the region and
its problems. All authorities concerned should be obliged to cooperate
fully with the investigation, and grant it free access to people, places
and documents it wishes to examine. Its findings should be made public and
recommendations implemented.

In the context of the peace talks the Sudan Government agreed to
allow an independent international Commission of Inquiry to be set up to
investigate abductions and accusations of slavery in the context of the
civil war.

"Serious independent inquiries can find out the complex factors which
have caused human rights abuses in the region and suggest human rights
mechanisms to solve them," Amnesty International said.



Background

Although at first the Sudan Government seemed to seek a peaceful solution
to the situation in Darfur - the Sudan National Assembly set up an
emergency committee on Darfur and a consultative assembly of citizens of
Darfur made recommendations to solve the conflict peacefully - at the end
of March the government said demands by the Sudan Liberation Army (formed
by sedentary groups in the region) were too high and it had decided to
solve the conflict by military means.

In April, after intense lobbying by the Sudan government, the UN
Commission on Human Rights voted against the mandate of the Special
Rapporteur on the Sudan who reported to the UN on the human rights
situation in Sudan and whose reports raised the deteriorating situation in
Darfur. The loss of the UN Special Rapporteur further jeopardises outside
monitoring of human rights violations in Sudan.

Peace negotiations are continuing in Kenya under the auspices of the
Inter Governmental Authority on Development (IGAD) and international
mediators. But Darfur, in northern Sudan, is not included in the peace
talks, nor in the monitoring which is to accompany the peace.

UA 145/03 Fear of torture 22 May 2003

SUDAN 14 year old girl, convicted of adultery, (name cannot be used for legal reasons)

A fourteen year old unmarried girl, who is nine months pregnant, was sentenced to 100 lashes by a court in the town of Nyala, South Darfur, western Sudan on 17 May. If the Appeal Courts confirm her sentence, she is at risk of being immediately flogged, which constitutes a cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment.

The girl was arrested in the Al-Wihda neighbourhood of Nyala by the Public Police force, in charge of enforcing “public decency” in the government-controlled Sudan. The provincial criminal court in Nyala convicted her of adultery on the basis that she was unmarried and nine months pregnant. According to the Sudanese Penal Code, one can be convicted of adultery on the basis of the testimonies of four witnesses; if one confesses to the charge, or in the case of women, if they are unmarried and pregnant.
A 25-year old businessman, charged in connection with the case, was acquitted after insufficient evidence was found against him.

The girl was allowed legal representation and appealed the sentence on the grounds that she is pregnant and not fit to undergo such punishment. Her lawyer also objected that her age was not taken into account by the court. Appeal Courts usually review such penalties within a month.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION
The Sudanese Penal Code, which is partly based on interpretation from Islamic Law, allows for penalties such as flogging and amputations. While Amnesty International does not take a position on Islamic or any other religious law, it considers such penalties as cruel, inhuman and degrading punishments which are inconsistent with Sudan’s obligations under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR). Moreover, the flogging of a child contravenes the Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC), to which Sudan is a party. Article 37(a) of the CRC states:
“No child shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”

In October 2002, in its concluding observations on the report by the Sudanese government, the Committee on the Rights of the Child recommended that Sudan “end the imposition of corporal punishment, including flogging, amputation and other forms of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment or punishment, on persons who may have committed crimes while under 18 (...)”

Articles in the Sudanese Penal Code which make adultery a criminal offence are usually enforced, particularly against women. In January 2002, Abok Alfa Akok was convicted of adultery and sentenced, by a criminal court in Nyala, to death by stoning, while the man accused in the same case was acquitted. The appeal court overturned the death penalty, but sentenced her to 75 lashes instead. The sentence was carried out immediately, which prevented her lawyer from appealing the second sentence. In November 2002, 17 women from the village of Munawashi, 80 km north of Nyala, were convicted of adultery and sentenced to 100 lashes each. No men were charged in connection with these offences and the women were not allowed defence counsel. The women were flogged immediately after their conviction, without a medical report on their fitness to undergo punishment, as required under Sudanese law.

RECOMMENDED ACTION: Please send appeals to arrive as quickly as possible, in English or Arabic or your own language:
- urging the authorities to immediately commute the sentence of flogging against the fourteen year old pregnant girl;
- explaining that in your view such a sentence constitutes torture or cruel, inhuman and degrading punishment which contravenes international human rights treaties to which Sudan is a party including the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) and the UN Convention on the Rights of the Child (CRC) which states that “No child shall be subjected to torture or other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment.”;
- calling on the government to amend Sudanese law to bring it into line with international standards it has ratified.
