Soudan: 41st session of the Human Rights Council : Oral statement on the Interactive Dialogue on Sudan

41st Human Rights Council session
Item 10: Enhanced ID on Sudan

Oral statement delivered by the World Organisation Against Torture (OMCT)

Mr. President,

OMCT and the SOS-torture network are worried about the human rights situation in Sudan during the last months. They have documented hundreds targeted arrests and detention of individuals involved in peaceful protests against the regime of the former president. Many protestors have been arrested and put in prolonged detention without judicial oversight and assistance of their lawyers.

On 3rd June 2019 more than 118 peaceful protesters have been killed and 600 wounded by Sudanese security forces. There has been reports of torture and ill-treatment including sexual violence against protestors and individuals in custody and some have died as a result of torture at the hands of security agents.

The role played by the National Intel­li­gence and Security Service and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in all these human rights violations particularly the use of torture and other forms of ill-treatment against detainees, in secret detention locations, is particularly worrisome. These security units are well known for their previous participation in gross human rights violations and should not been left unpunished.

The recent agreement found between the Forces for Freedom and Change and the Transitional Military Council on 5th July towards the establishment of transitional governing bodies, is not enough to ensure an impartial oversight of all the gross human rights violations that occurred since the beginning of the protests in 2018.

The government of Sudan has repeatedly failed to ensure effective investigations into allegations of torture and ill-treatment by security forces and has failed to ensure effective remedies or provide reparation to the victims.

We therefore call on the human rights council,·     
  • To make sure that an international fact-finding mission is rapidly mandated by to investigate on all the human rights violations that occurred since 2018.
  • To recommend that all military officers found accountable of human rights violations should not take part to the transitional Sovereign Council and should instead be judged for their crimes
  • To recommend that all victims of torture and ill treatments have access to justice, reparation and rehabilitation.
Thank you.
