Articles for Sudan

A United Nations (UN) Fact-Finding Mission has reported that the parties of the war in Sudan have committed a horrific array of human rights violations and international crimes, many of which could amount to war crimes and crimes against humanity. 

In early June 2023, Alkarama sent an urgent appeal to the United Nations Committee on Enforced Disappearance regarding Dr. Mohamed Ali Abdullah Al Jazouli, who was abducted by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in Sudan. 

The expert on the human rights situation in Sudan, Radhouane Nouicer, called to urgently address the accountability of the security forces to the population within a framework of democratic civilian oversight, the rule of law and respect for human rights.

Alkarama confirmed that the Sudanese authorities had released four political detainees, following court decisions to acquit them of all charges against them. Alkarama had submitted their cases to the United Nations human rights mechanisms.

On 10 March 2022, Alkarama sent a communication to the UN Working Group on Arbitrary Detention (WGAD) regarding brigadier general Gamaleldeen Al Shaheed, who was arrested at his home on 29 June 2020 by the military intelligence services under the command of Lieutenant-General Abdel Fattah Al Burhan.

Alkarama supports the call of the UN expert on the situation of human rights in Sudan, Adama Diang, to end the excessive use of force against peaceful protesters, lift the state of emergency in the country, release all remaining protesters and activists as well as investigate promptly and impartially all allegations of human rights violations.
