Emergency lawyers and doctors call on visiting human rights expert Adama Deng and the international community to stop arrests and attacks

 

Khartoum-Al-Yurae- Agencies – The emergency lawyers’ body on Monday called on the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights and the international community to press the Sudanese authorities to stop the violence associated with the demonstrations and stop arbitrary arrests.

Adama Deng, an independent UN human rights expert in Sudan, met in Khartoum, according to a statement from the commission.
The statement said a delegation of emergency lawyers briefed UN expert Adama Deng on violations of the repression, violence and use of all types of weapons to which citizens have been subjected by the ruling authority in their peaceful mass movement since October 25.

“Through the UN expert, THE OFFICE OF HUMAN RIGHTS AND THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY, emergency lawyers called for pressure on the ruling authority to stop the violence associated with the demonstrations, stop arbitrary arrests and bring those arrested to urgent trials or release them immediately.”

On Sunday, Deng began his first official visit to Khartoum, which runs until Thursday, a month after it was postponed at the request of the Sudanese authorities.

In the same vein, a delegation from the Unified Office of Physicians, comprising three NGOs, the Sudan Doctors Committee, the Union and the Committee of Specialists and Consultants, met with Adama Deng, an independent human rights expert in Sudan, on Monday in Khartoum.

According to a joint statement of the Turkish News Agency, representatives of the Unified Office of Doctors presented during the meeting the most prominent statistics of martyrs and injuries in the post-coup period on October 25, 2021, in addition to violations of arrests, harassment and threats to medical service providers.

The statement noted that doctors’ representatives reviewed violations in hospitals from tear gas being fired into patients’ rooms and wards.

Earlier yesterday, the Sudanese government announced its readiness to cooperate with the UN human rights expert for Sudan, Adama Deng.

Deng has been appointed by a Human Rights Council resolution to monitor the human rights situation in Sudan since October 25, 2021.

Since then, Sudan has witnessed protests calling for “full democratic civilian rule” and rejecting the military coup against the civilian part of the transitional government and the actions taken by Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, most notably the imposition of a state of emergency and the dissolution of the sovereignty councils and transitional ministers.

According to the Sudan Doctors Committee (NON-GOVERNMENTAL), 82 protesters have been killed since the demonstrations began by what they call “coup forces”.
