Rights groups demand justice over Sudan protest deaths
KHARTOUM: Global Rights groups on Thursday criticised Sudan for failing to provide justice to dozens of protesters killed in a government *****down on anti-austerity demonstrations three years ago.
In September 2013, thousands of people took to the streets in Khartoum and some other regions calling for the downfall of President Omar al-Bashir’s regime after the authorities slashed fuel subsidies. Rights group Amnesty International said at the time that about 200 people were killed, hundreds were wounded and more than 800 arrested when security forces crushed the demonstrations. The government gave a death toll of fewer than 100. On Thursday, Rights groups Amnesty International, Human Rights Watch and the African Centre for justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) said that three years later Sudan has yet to provide justice to victims of the *****down. “Although it seems like Sudan has succeeded in sweeping the horrific violence of September 2013 under the carpet, victims’ families still demand justice,” Mossaad Mohamed Ali of ACJPS said in a joint statement issued by the Rights groups. Sudan has set up three state commissions of inquiry, but their findings have **t been made public so far, the groups said. Human Rights Watch research showed that many detainees were subjected to torture and other ill-treatment and that female protesters were ***ually assaulted by security forces, the statement said. “The government needs to publicly admit the scale of the killings and the role of its security forces,” HRW Africa director Daniel Bekele said in the statement. أكثر... ??????? ??????: Rights groups demand justice over Sudan protest deaths || ??????: ahlam1399 || ??????: اسم منتداك
