Case SDN 250603
Death penalty / Fair trial
The International Secretariat of OMCT requests your URGENT intervention in the following situation in Sudan.
Brief description of the situation
The International Secretariat of OMCT has been informed by thE Sudanese Organisation against Torture, a member of the OMCT network, that nine men have been sentenced to death by hanging in Sudan.
According to the information received, the Kass Special Court sentenced Tibin Abdel Rahman Isaag; Alhadi Abaker Hammad; Abaker Harran; Abader Adam Bakheet; Issag Abaker; Saead Abdella Abaker; Mohamed Abdel Rahman Ibraheam; Easa Mohamed Adam and Mohamed Abdella Yahya to death by hanging after convicting them under articles 130
(murder) and 168 (armed robbery) of the Penal Code. The men were arrested on November 28th, 2003, at the local market in Kass City. The nine men are Arabs and have been accused of attacking a Four village called Alibya, West Kass City. The accused were convicted by the Kass Special Court under Judge Ahmed Adam Abu Hemaira. The defendants did not recieve a fair trial because their lawyers were not allowed to appear before the Special Court. An appeal has been submitted by the afore-mentioned detainees' lawyers to the Special Appeal Court in Nyala. The result of the appeal could take as long as two months. The sentence will reportedly only be
carried out following the decision of the High Court in Khartoum.
The International Secretariat of OMCT is gravely concerned for the physical and psychological integrity of Tibin Abdel Rahman Isaag; Alhadi Abaker Hammad; Abaker Harran; Abader Adam Bakheet; Issag Abaker; Saead Abdella Abaker; Mohamed Abdel Rahman Ibraheam; Easa
Mohamed Adam and Mohamed Abdella Yahya. OMCT stresses that it is strongly opposed to the death penalty as an extreme form of cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment and a violation of the right to life, as proclaimed in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights and other
international human rights instruments. OMCT is gravely concerned that the Special Courts that are trying these cases do not allow for fair trials. OMCT recalls that the procedures and sentences of the Special Courts are inconsistent with international human rights law
under the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights (ICCPR) that Sudan has ratified, and the United Nations' Convention against Torture and other Cruel, Inhuman or Degrading Treatment of Punishment (CAT) to which the Government of Sudan is a signatory.
OMCT therefore calls on the Sudanese government to: immediately repeal the death sentences in question and; release the detainees in the absence of valid charges against them, which are in line with international law or, if such charges exist, to re-try the defendants before a competent and impartial tribunal, while respecting their procedural rights at all times, in accordance with the internationally recognized standards of fair trial.
Background Information
Special Courts were established in May 2001 to deal with offences
such as armed robbery, murder, weapons possession and smuggling. The
Special Courts consist of two military judges and one civil judge.
Lawyers are usually forbidden to stand before the Special Court and
plaintiffs are given the right to appeal only when sentenced to death
or amputation. Under such circumstances, the appeal must be made
within seven days of the sentence to the District Chief of Justice,
whose decision is final. According to the information received, the
Sudanese Minister of Justice has publicly admitted that the Special
Courts are not following correct judicial procedures. Fair trial
guarantees ensured by international human rights standards are
therefore ignored by the Special Courts. In the last year, the crime
most frequently resulting in death sentences has been armed robbery.
Action requested
Please write to the authorities in Sudan urging them to:
i. take all necessary measures to guarantee the physical and
psychological integrity of Tibin Abdel Rahman Isaag; Alhadi Abaker
Hammad; Abaker Harran; Abader
Adam Bakheet; Issag Abaker; Saead Abdella Abaker; Mohamed Abdel
Rahman Ibraheam; Easa Mohamed Adam and Mohamed Abdella Yahya;
ii. immediately repeal their death sentences;
iii. order their immediate release in the absence of valid legal
charges, or, if such charges exist, bring them before an impartial
and competent tribunal and guarantee
their procedural rights at all times;
iv. prohibit the use of Special Courts, as they fail to comply with
national judicial procedures or internationally recognised fair trial
standards and guarantees;
v. guarantee the respect of human rights and the fundamental freedoms
throughout the country in accordance with national laws and
international human rights
standards.
