1 URGENT ACTION SHRN Memorandum on Gross Human Rights Violations in Sudan Memo From: Sudan Human Rights Network Memo To: Date: 23 March 2018 UN Human Rights Council (OHCHR) UN Independent Expert on the situation of Human Rights in Sudan, Mr. Aristide Nononsi African Commission on Human and Peoples Rights (ACHPR) ACHPR Commissioner on the Human Rights Situation in Sudan, Mr. Lawrence Murugu Mute Arab Commission for Human Rights (ACHR) President of the secretariat of the ACHR, Mr. Mohamed Yacoub Copies to: Amnesty International - Human Rights Watch - Human Rights Organizations (Enclosed please find updated list of political detainees held hostages by Sudanese authorities.) Dear Human Rights Defenders, We write to you regarding the deeply concerning human rights situation in Sudan. Hundreds of government opponents, including prisoners of conscience, were detained without charge or trial. Political detainees included leaders and members of political parties, journalists, human rights activists, and trade unionists. The majority of prisoners arrested and held in secret detention centers. Since January 2018, several anti-government demonstrations and peaceful marches took place in several towns including capital city of Sudan Khartoum, Medani, and Sinja. Sudanese from virtually all sectors of society, from northern Sudan, Darfur, the war-torn South Blue Nile and South Kordofan states, suffered human rights violations as the authorities continued to suppress political opposition. info@sudanhumanrights.org Page 1

2 The National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) are using the political detainees as hostages to prevent the Sudanese opposition from carrying out protests against the government. "The political detainees from the left parties would be released if their parties stop demonstrations and behave!", the NISS director Salah Gosh said in a statement published on 20 February 2018 by "Alintibaha" Sudanese daily newspaper. The Sudan Human Rights Network (SHRN) is deeply concerned by ongoing widespread and gross human rights violations and abuses, and arbitrary detention by Sudanese authorities of peaceful civil society party members, tribes leaders, and activists. More than 100 remained behind bars for several months, among them; Sudanese Congress Party (SCP) President Omer Yusuf Al-Digair, Secretary General of the Communist Party of Sudan (CPS) Mohammed Mukhtar Al-Khateeb, and notably the case of Sakharov Prize laureate human rights defender, Salih Mahmoud Osman. SHRN condemns the gross human rights violations in Sudan and recommends that the UN Commission on Human Rights assign human rights field officers to monitor the human rights situation. If strict measure are not taken, we are concerned that government forces will continue to use excessive force against protesters and to arbitrarily detain those who participate in them as they have done repeatedly. We call on the international community and particularly the UN Human Rights Council to take action to end the widespread human rights abuses being perpetrated in Sudan, and to: Express concern at the arrest and continuing of detention of prisoners of conscious Urge the Sudanese authorities to immediately and unconditionally release prisoners of conscious Request assurances that prisoners of conscious are being humanly treated, that they have immediate and regular access to their families, lawyers, and any necessary medical attention.
