SOAT Press Release: 16 January 2004 (draft)
3 from Zaghawa tribe arbitrarily arrested
On the 5 - 7 January 2004, the security forces in Nyala arrested three men belonging to Zaghawa tribe. Their names are as the follows:
Yousif Idris, merchant, 33 yrs, arrested on 5 January
Salim Idris, merchant, 35 yrs arrested on 6 January ( they are brothers)
Suleiman, merchant, 40 yrs, arrested on 7 January
The three men are currently being detained at the security office in Nyala and have no official charges made against them. They have allegedly been tortured; they were punched, flogged and has cold water poured on them at night.
Background
The situation in Darfur continues to deteriorate; approximately 670,000 people have been displaced and many killed due to the ongoing fighting in the region.
Unfortunately, the failure of the peace negotiations in December 2003 between the GoS and the SLA in N'djamena, Chad, has led to the continuation of the conflict in Darfur and the rapid deterioration of the humanitarian situation in the region
All parties involved in the conflict; including government sponsored militias and the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), have resumed fighting. Also, the new wave of arbitrary arrests can be seen as a response to the failure in resolving the conflict.
Due to the GoS imposing severe restrictions on humanitarian relief organisations the refugees are being placed in extreme danger. The GoS has also restricted the media from reporting on the conflict from within Darfur.
SOAT condemns these arbitrary arrests and urges the Government of Sudan to:
Take all necessary measures to ensure the physical and psychological integrity of all the detainees.
Order the immediate release of all the detainees in the absence of valid legal charges, or if legitimate charges exist, bring them before an impartial tribunal and guarantee procedural rights at all times.
Ensure that all detainees have access to legal advice
Guarantee the respect of human rights and fundamental freedoms, including freedom of association throughout Sudan in accordance with national laws and international human rights standards.
The above recommendations should be sent in appeals to the following
