Prisoners of Conscience arrested within Darfur
Many of those arrested in Darfur have been prisoners of conscience or possible prisoners of conscience arrested for trying to obtain or spread information about the situation in Darfur, or even just to discuss the crisis and ways to lobby the government. From the beginning of the conflict there has been strict censorship on writing on Darfur. Many of those arrested in Darfur as prisoners of conscience have also suffered torture or other ill-treatment.
· Yusuf al-Bashir Musa, the Nyala correspondent of the Khartoum newspaper al-Sahafa, (Newspaper) was arrested on 3 May 2003 and taken to the security office in Nyala where he was beaten with wood on the feet, arms, buttocks and chest. A lawyer asked to meet him at once, but was allowed access only on the fourth day. A doctor saw him on the same day recorded the marks left by the beatings. He was charged with publishing incorrect information against the state under Article 26 of the 1998 Emergency Act. He was then transferred to Nyala Prison where his treatment improved. He was released without charge on 24 May. He filed a plaint to demand compensation for the torture he had received, but this has not yet been heard.
· Ibrahim Yusuf Ishaq, aged 40, a well-known lawyer and a former member of the South Darfur Legislative Council, was arrested on 15 November 2003, with two journalists, Gassem Taha of the newspaper al-Sahafa and Muhannad Hussein, of al-Akhbar al-Yawm (the News Today). Ibrahim Yusuf Ishaq, who comes from Singita, had taken the journalists to photograph and film the burnt houses and property in the two Fur villages after recent attacks by the Janjawid. All were released after 11 hours questioning, but Attorney Ibrahim Yusuf Ishaq was ordered to return the next day and detained in custody. Lawyers were refused visits to him and he remained in detention until March. Gassem Taha and Muhannad Hussein were ordered to report to the security agency for about a month on a daily basis.
· Osman Adam Abdel Mawla, aged 39, a human rights activist working for the Nyala office of the Sudan Social Development Organisation (SUDO, see below), was detained by the national security and intelligence agency on 5 May 2004, apparently due to his humanitarian and human rights activities for SUDO. He was travelling from Nyala to Zalingei when he was taken off the bus at a checkpoint some five kilometres from Zalingei. He was detained at the national security office in Zalingei and released on 18 May after 13 days incommunicado detention without having been interrogated and without ever knowing the reason for his arrest. On his return to Nyala he was not given a permit to leave the city again for his work.
· On 9 May 2004 two omdas (local village leaders) were arrested from the street in Kabkabiya: Nureddin Mohammad Abdel Rahim, omda of Shoba, and Bahr al-Din Abdullah Rifah omda of Jabal Si. They had been at a meeting in the town called by the International Committee of the Red Cross and attended by the province administration where they had reportedly spoken about the fear of the persons internally displaced from the rural areas and the difficulty they felt in returning to their villages because of the danger of harassment and further attacks by the Janjawid. They were reportedly arrested from the street after the meeting. They were released after about two days.
Prisoners of Conscience arrested in Khartoum
There has been such a heavy clamp down on the issue of Darfur in the media that few people in the rest of the Sudan have a good understanding of what is happening in Darfur unless they have friends from the Darfur communities which have been targeted. Most see the conflict as primarily a tribal conflict, and this is the impression that the government tries to present to the media. Human rights organizations, lawyers and activists within Sudan have courageously acted to defend those arrested and to speak openly on human rights violations, but some have been targeted as a result. Editors of newspapers which try to present more information on the conflict may find the print run of the paper seized, and themselves charged under articles of the Penal Code such as Article 103 (threatening the security of the country) or Article 66 (publication of false news).
For the Sudanese Government the most dangerous source of information are satellite TV channels which may not be seized before publication and will be watched in many homes. Al-Jazeera, the Qatar-based independent channel, has been one source of information on Darfur and this is the satellite agency most targeted by the government. By the end of 2003 the government started to target al-Jazeera and its bureau chief, Islam Salih Belo, a reporter close to Hassan al-Turabi’s Popular Congress which is accused of being the instigator of the JEM armed group in Darfur. After mounting pressure warning the channel that it would react if they did not tone down their reporting on Darfur the security agency entered al-Jazeera office on 17 December 2003 and confiscated a transmitter and three cameras, stating that customs formalities had not been completed. The following day they closed the office and arrested Islam Salih Belo, who was detained for six days. According to AFP, the national security agency stated that: "The Al-Jazeera channel, through its Khartoum office and its correspondent, Islam Salih Belo, took to preparing and transmitting a number of programmes and materials stuffed with false information and poor, biased analyses and with pictures and scenes selected to serve its ends". It cited as evidence reports about tuberculosis, landmine victims in Sudan and events in the western Darfur region. It said the bureau "will be reopened only after the channel's headquarters takes steps for correcting the mistakes, redressing the shortcomings and appointing to the office responsible persons who can discharge the message of the channel in a neutral and professional manner."
Dr Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, the Director of the Sudan Social Development Organization (SUDO), a voluntary organisation created to promote sustainable development and human rights, was arrested at his home in Khartoum, the capital of Sudan, on 28 December 2003. SUDO has a network of human rights activists and has been engaged in providing non-food items to internally displaced people in Darfur, western Sudan. Dr Mudawi, who comes from Darfur, had made many visits to the region and had recently come back from the area when he was detained.
Dr Mudawi was first held in Khartoum’s national security centre and then in Kober Prison under Article 31 of the National Security Forces Act which allows people to be held for up to nine months without trial. On 7 February he started a hunger strike demanding to be charged and brought to trial or released. He ended the hunger strike after two days when he was brought before the Attorney General. He was then charged with some nine offences under the Penal Code, many of them carry the death penalty and do not allow release on bail: offences against the state under Articles 50, 51 and 56 of the Penal Code. He was also charged with provoking hatred against or among sects under Articles 63 and 64. He was held with criminal detainees in the detention cells of the Attorney General’s office until he was moved, in April, to remain under house arrest. The 14 documents brought as evidence against him included two Amnesty International Urgent Actions, (one of which was not about Darfur). The trial is continuing.
Many of those detained from Darfur in Sudanese prisons are lawyers: they include Saleh Mahmoud Osman, a human rights lawyer based in Nyala, who worked on many political cases and provided legal aid to those facing the death penalty. He was arrested at 11pm on 1 February from his wife’s home in Wad Medani and is still detained. His family has not been allowed to visit him for the past two months. Many other lawyers from Darfur based in Khartoum, such as and Barud Sandal, one of the lawyers of Dr Mudawi; Muhammad Omer Muhammad; Ismail Omar; and Mohammad Abdallah Duma have been detained in Kober and other prisons for weeks or months. Lawyers from Darfur in Khartoum have often been a focus for people from Darfur to visit their offices to exchange information on Darfur; this may be a reason why so many have been detained. Following the fate of Dr Mudawi Ibrahim, whose demand to be charged or tried led to a variety of charges carrying the death penalty, other detainees arrested by the security agency have not demanded a fair trial, preferring to hope that the political situation will eventually ensure their release.
Detention of members of the Popular Congress
All members of the Popular Congress, including Dr Hassan al-Turabi, who had been detained for two years, were released in October 2003. However, on 29 and 30 March 2004 more than 15 members of the Popular Congress were arrested alongside about 10 army officers. They were accused of various offences including preparing a coup and plotting to blow up a power station. A statement by the government said that Hassan al-Turabi was detained for "inciting violence and ethnic and regional conflicts in various states of the country". The relationship between the Popular Congress and JEM was widely thought to be behind the detentions. By 11 May 2004 some 69 followers of Dr Hassan al-Turabi had been detained. No one has yet been brought to trial.
Torture and other ill-treatment
Amnesty International has noted that over the past years torture of detainees appears to be widespread in Darfur and more frequently recorded than from elsewhere in the Sudan. Although many allegations of torture have been raised in court, there has been no known investigation into any of these allegations.
· Thirty people in Kornoy arrested at the end of April 2003 were all reportedly tortured. They were released after 20 days and, allegedly, the marks of beatings and burnings were still visible on their bodies. Two, Sherif Ahmed Farjekabir and Abubaker Zakariya, were so badly burnt they were taken to hospital.
· In a conflict between two Arab ethnic groups, the armed forces arrested 45 Ma’aliya from Adila in South Darfur state on 4 May 2003. They kept all in incommunicado detention for two months and, in order to force then to confess to killing seven members of the Rizeigat, tortured eight of them, including Hassan Mohammad Ismail and al-Tayeb Yusuf Ajib, reportedly by beatings and inserting metal objects into the anus. After the torture had been widely raised inside and outside the court the special court dismissed the case against all but one defendant through lack of evidence. One defendant, a Dinka, Abdallah Agai Akot, was sentenced to death. He also had reportedly been tortured by beating in order to confess to the crime. His appeal remains pending.
· Dr Ali Ahmed Daoud, a veterinary surgeon, and Ali Hussein Dossa, a member of the South Darfur State Assembly, were arrested on 15 March 2004 in Nyala. Dr Ali Ahmed Daoud was attending a meeting in Ali Hussein Dossa’s house with about 20 other people, all believed to be members of the Fur ethnic group. They were reportedly discussing ways of lobbying the government to take firm steps to end attacks against villages in the region by the government-backed Janjawid militia. Members of the Sudanese security forces are said to have broken up the meeting and detained Dr. Ali Ahmed Daoud, Ali Hussein Dossa and the estimated 20 others who were present, accusing them of having links with rebel groups. The others have reportedly been released. Both men were reportedly so severely tortured that a doctor was sent for. They were said to have been accused with spying for the SLA, but have not been brought to trial. They were transferred to Kober and then to Debek, and are now held in Kober. Twelve students of Nyala University arrested at the same time were held for three days during which the security officers reportedly beat them with wooden sticks and electric cables. The students said that members of the security agency poured cold water over their bodies, forced them to do hard physical exercises and abused them verbally saying African tribes were slaves.
· A number of arrests reportedly followed by torture, at the hands of national security or military intelligence were reported from Buram after an SLA attack on the town in mid-March. Eight people, Al-Sadeq Ahmed Harba, 32, from Nyala, Haroun Bashir, 35, a fish trader; Abdu [other names unknown], a cooking oil trader; Mohammad Yusuf, 43, a sorghum trader; Mohammad Adam Huri, 45, headmaster of Legaid Diba Primary School; Zakariya Madibo, 60, a sorghum trader; Mohammad Ahmed Abu Kantosh, 55; and. Al-Faki Abdallah Kiraykiro, 45, an Islamic cleric, were held for nine days in a military camp where they were reportedly beaten with sticks and gun butts, tied upside-down to a tree and tied together in the back of a truck for four days without food and water. Interrogators allegedly inserted an iron bar into the rectum of Haroun Bashir. After nine days they were transferred to the military prison in Nyala, where they were not given any food for three days. In Nyala one detainee, Al-Sadeq Ahmed Harba, was released; the other detainees are believed to be held in the military prison in Nyala where lawyers have no access to them..
· Abdel Karim Jaber Narow, aged 48, a merchant, and Abdel Shafi’ Badawi Bashir, aged 35, a merchant from Nyala, both Zaghawa, were arrested at 9am on 29 March 2004 at Abdel Karim Jaber Narow’s shop in Buram, South Darfur, by the national security agency. They were held at Buram police station for one month without charge or trial. They were apparently suspected of having helped the SLA attack on Buram, including Buram hospital, in March and during their detention were allegedly beaten with hands and metal rods on their backs and stomachs, whipped with water hoses and kicked all over their bodies. They were reportedly denied medical treatment and are still detained in Buram Prison.
Cruel, inhuman or degrading conditions of detention
Most of those detained in Darfur in connection with the conflict have been held, not in prisons, where conditions are relatively better, but in centres of the security forces or the intelligence (merged in March 2004 to form a combined agency called the National Security and Intelligence Agency) and in military or military intelligence centres. It is difficult of impossible for lawyers or family to gain access to detainees in military centres which are located in military areas. Two detainees from Tina held in al-Fasher, described the conditions in the military intelligence centre there as extremely bad.
“I was taken from Tina by air to the offices of the military intelligence in Al-Fasher. There I remained for four months. I was never charged with any crime and I never saw anyone, not my family, not a lawyer. I was frequently beaten. They also gave me electric shocks to make me tell things. We had only one cup of water a day and the food was little and very bad. I was kept with 25 others in one cell which did not have any toilets. Three persons died in the detention centre while I was there: Sheri’ Abdel Rahman, from Tina, Abdel Rahim Taharja, a lawyer from Kutum, and Hagar Yusuf Hagar. He grew sick and no one brought a doctor to him till he died”.
In March 2004 a number of detainees from Khartoum were transferred from Kober Prison, where there is a section controlled by national security for mainly political detainees held without trial under Article 31 of the National Security Forces Act, to Debek Prison some 40 km north of Khartoum. One human rights defender described Debek as a prison “where you put those you want to humiliate”; it is said to be filthy, hot, full of mosquitoes, and with aggressive guards. After protests from human rights activists and families in the Sudan, the detainees were transferred at the beginning of May and scattered in prisons throughout the country.
