Lawyers: ‘Up to 800 Darfur activists, rebel fighters still detained’

The head of the Darfur Bar Association, Mohamed Abdallah El Doma, said that between 400 and 800 Darfuri activists and rebel fighters captured during battles are still in prisons. A number of them have died in detention because of torture. Some prisoners were also subjected to amputations.

El Doma confirmed at a press conference in Khartoum on Wednesday that the detainees are those sentenced in political cases and prisoners of war. He stressed that no one was allowed to visit them since they were captured; not their parents, lawyers, or local organisations.

He said that the prisoners are living in very difficult health and humanitarian conditions. They are hungry and diseases are spreading among them. El Doma expressed surprise that the prisoners of Darfur have not been released after the revolution and the overthrow of the regime, despite the fact that these prisoners came out and fought to uproot and overthrow the regime, which was the target for the rebels.

‘Racist and reprisal’

El Doma said that the killings and arrests of the people of Darfur were racist and reprisal. “The people of Darfur were the first to revolt against the former regime, who brought the case to the International Criminal Court. He called on all the Sudanese people and the people of Darfur in particular to take their part in order to liberate the detainees and prisoners from the people of Darfur today before tomorrow.”

Mohamed Eisa Aliou, head of the Darfur Tribune, called for the immediate release of all the detainees and prisoners from the people of Darfur, explaining that there is no reason for them to remain in prisons after the revolution. He said that all the policies and decisions taken against the people of Darfur in the era of the former regime were racist And retaliation. He demanded that Darfur's interim governors be Darfuris.

SPLM-N ceasefire

The head of the Sudan People’s Liberation Movement-North faction in South Kordofan, Abdelaziz El Hilu on Wednesday, announced the cessation of hostilities for three months from 17 April 2019, until 31 July 2019 in all areas of control of the movement. He said in a statement that the resolution comes as a gesture of goodwill towards the solution And to give an opportunity for the immediate and smooth delivery of power to civilians. All SPLM-N El Hilu forces and units were ordered to abide by and respect this Declaration and to cease any hostilities except in self-defence.
