The court that convicted him had acquitted him on the same charges and the same case earlier. In March 2009, the Sudanese authorities had shut down SODU as part of a wide-scale crackdown on human rights defenders and organizations accused by the authorities of cooperating with the International Criminal Court on the war crimes file in Darfur. Dr. Abdul Bassit Mirghani, human rights activist and director of Al-Fanar Center for Development Services- He was arrested on December 14, 2010, after the center hosted a coordinating meeting to combat the oppression of women in Sudan. Abdelrahman Mohammed al-Gassim, member of the Darfur Bar Association and the executive committee of the Sudan Human Rights Monitor- He was arrested with other human rights defenders in Darfur in October 2010. The authorities have not revealed his whereabouts or the charges against him, but it is thought that his detention is related to his participation in international and regional human rights forums. Jaafar al-Subki, journalist with the independent al-Sahafa newspaper-He was arrested in November 2010. The authorities have not revealed his whereabouts or the charges against him. Journalists with the opposition Rai al-Shaab newspaper They were arrested as part of a broad attack on freedom Abuzar al-Amin, of the press and referred to trial on numerous charges, Al-Tahir Abu Jawhara, including inciting to overthrow the constitutional order, insulting the president, and disseminating false news Ashraf Abdel Aziz, liable to harm the country’s reputation. Al-Amin was sentenced to five years in prison, while Abu Jawhara and Abdel Aziz received two-year prison terms. * The following is not a complete list, but merely names some of the most prominent victims. For more information, please refer to the full report and the sources used. (5) Yemen Yasser al-Wazir, member of the Yemeni Organization for the Defense of Rights and Democratic Freedoms,He was sentenced to eight years in prison in January 2010. He was first abducted by the security apparatus and held incommunicado for nearly three months, during which time he was tortured and held in solitary confinement. He was tried in near secrecy by an exceptional court on false charges, including forming an armed group. Ali Ahmed al-Saqqaf, member of the Yemeni Organization for the Defense of Rights and Democratic Freedoms- He is detained without charge or trial after his abduction by the security apparatus in September 2009. In detention he is denied his right to treatment for hepatitis. Sadeq al-Sharaf, director of Protection Center and member of the board of trustees of the Yemen Center for Human Rights- He was arbitrarily detained on July 14, 2009, and in April 2010 referred with several others to trial before the exceptional Specialized Criminal Court on charges of maintaining contacts with Iran due to his human rights activities in documenting abuses against the Zaidi community in the Saada war. They remained in detention at the end of 2010, despite a presidential amnesty for all those detained in connection with the war. Abdul Elah Haidar, journalist specialized in al-Qaeda- He was detained in August 2010 and referred to the Specialized Criminal Court on false and grave charges, including membership in a terrorist gang and inciting to the assassination of the president and his son. Morocco Chekib el-Khayari, president of the Association for Human Rights in the Rif- He is serving a three-year prison sentence following his convictions in June 2009 on charges of insulting state institutions after he discussed corruption in anti-drug trafficking efforts. Abdullah Boukfou, He was sentenced to one year in prison on charges of publishing information about student protests online and possession of flyers inciting to racist hatred. Abdellatif Obais, blogger, He was repeatedly arrested and questioned during 2010 after which he was placed in provisional detention pending trial, although the charges have not yet been announced. It is thought that these arbitrary measures are linked to his blogging activities. Sheikh Amidan, Sahrawi political activist- In early 2010, Appeals Court in Laayoune upheld his five-year prison sentence. (6) Mohammed al-Merouati, secretary-general of the Umma Party; Among the 35 defendants in the Mustapha al-Moatassim, secretary-general of Belliraj terrorist case, they were al-Badil al-Hadari Party; sentenced to false prison terms ranging from 20 to 25 years.

    36 Csos and Individuals Urge the Council to Adopt a Resolution on Sudan

    Letter from 36 NGOs and individuals regarding the human rights situation in Sudan in advance of the 33rd session of the UN Human Rights Council To Permanent Representatives of Members and Observer States of the UN Human Rights Council Geneva, Switzerland 7 September 2016 Re: Current human rights and humanitarian situation in Sudan Excellency, Our organisations write to you in advance of the opening of the 33rd session of the United Nations Human Rights Council to share our serious concerns regarding the human rights and humanitarian situation in Sudan. Many of these abuses are detailed in the attached annex. We draw your attention to the Sudanese government’s continuing abuses against civilians in South Kordofan, Blue Nile and Darfur, including unlawful attacks on villages and indiscriminate bombing of civilians. We are also concerned about the continuing repression of civil and political rights, in particular the ongoing crackdown on protesters and abuse of independent civil society and human rights defenders. In a recent example in March 2016, four representatives of Sudanese civil society were intercepted by security officials at Khartoum International Airport on their way to a high level human rights meeting with diplomats that took place in Geneva on 31 March. The meeting was organised by the international NGO, UPR Info, in preparation for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR) of Sudan that took place in May.1 We call upon your delegation to support the development and adoption of a strong and action- oriented resolution on Sudan under agenda item 4 at the 33rd session of the UN Human Rights Council.

Fighting over gold mines in North Darfur’s Jebel Amer area between the Janjaweed Abbala forces and Beni Hussein tribe started early this January and resulted in mass displacement of thousands. AP PHOTO/UNAMID, ALBERT GONZALEZ FARRAN Overview Darfur is burning again, with devastating results for its people. A kaleidoscope of Janjaweed forces are once again torching villages, terrorizing civilians, and systematically clearing prime land and resource-rich areas of their inhabitants. The latest ethnic-cleans- ing campaign has already displaced more than 300,000 Darfuris this year and forced more than 75,000 to seek refuge in neighboring Chad, the largest population displace- ment in recent years.1 An economic agenda is emerging as a major driver for the escalating violence. At the height of the mass atrocities committed from 2003 to 2005, the Sudanese regime’s strategy appeared to be driven primarily by the counterinsurgency objectives and secondarily by the acquisition of salaries and war booty. Undeniably, even at that time, the government could have only secured the loyalty of its proxy Janjaweed militias by allowing them to keep the fertile lands from which they evicted the original inhabitants. Today’s violence is even more visibly fueled by monetary motivations, which include land grabbing; consolidating control of recently discovered gold mines; manipulating reconciliation conferences for increased “blood money”; expanding protection rackets and smuggling networks; demanding ransoms; undertaking bank robberies; and resum- ing the large-scale looting that marked earlier periods of the conflict.

These relations evolved under conditions in which both countries understood and valued the need for cooperation, but also were aware of its limits and the dangers of too close a partnership. U.S. security dealings with Saudi Arabia are an extreme, perhaps unique, case of how security ties unfolded under conditions in which sensitivities to those ties were always a central —oftentimes dominating—consideration. This was especially true in the most delicate area of military assistance. Distinct patterns of behavior by the two countries emerged as a result, patterns that continue to this day. This dissertation examines the first twenty years of the U.S.-Saudi military assistance relationship. It seeks to identify the principal factors responsible for how and why the military assistance process evolved as it did, focusing on the objectives and constraints of both U.S.

However, it is still difficult to agree on a clear and comprehensive definition for ethnicity and its wide horizons. The first mention of the concept may date back to European studies in 1787. It was used to refer to non-Christian nations or groups and mainly related to idolatry. As continuity for the use of this meaning, which referred to whatever was different and negatively distinct from the Christian community, the concept of ethnicity developed(1).
