Sudan must end clampdown on media


The Sudanese authorities must halt the ongoing harassment of independent media, Amnesty International said after a prominent journalist was re-arrested and copies of a national newspaper seized in Khartoum on Tuesday.

Faisal Mohammed Saleh, a columnist with several national newspapers who has reported in 2011 on the alleged rape of an activist by National Security Service (NSS) agents, is currently being held by the NSS.

Meanwhile copies of national newspaper al-Midan were confiscated at the printing press today for the fifth time in five weeks, putting the publication’s financial future in jeopardy.

“The Sudanese government is continuing its relentless harassment of journalists and editors who dare to do their job,” said Jean-Baptiste Gallopin, Amnesty International’s Sudan researcher.

“The authorities are deploying a wide array of coercive measures against individuals and media organizations to discourage or prevent independent reporting and critical comment.”

Sudan's Continuing War on Religious Freedom

In July 2011, South Sudan became an independent country, six years after a peace agreement ended Khartoum’s 20-year war to impose on the South its extremist interpretation of Islam. 
right to freedom of religion or belief. However, while South Sudan’s people are finally free of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir’s tyranny, those remaining under his rule are not. Bashir’s regime and Khartoum’s ruling National Congress Party (NCP) continue to commit egregious human rights violations.
The world needs to shine a light on these abuses. The Khartoum government has launched a brutal war in the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile state, bombarding its own people and denying vital humanitarian assistance. Last fall, the US Commission on International Religious Freedom (USCIRF), on which we serve, visited a refugee camp in South Sudan filled with people who had fled the Nuba Mountains after being targeted based on their religious identity. Across Sudan, the government is cracking down on civil society, and arresting and frequently torturing protestors, opposition members, students, and activists.

Sudanese Government Continues to Crackdown on the Freedom of Religion and Expressionالحكومة السودانية تواصل قمعها لحرية التعبير والاعتقاد...




(3 November 2011) On 8 September Suleman Aboulgasim Musa and 17 of his followers were charged with apostasy under Article 126 of the 1991 Criminal Act.  The arrests and charging of these individuals are part of an increasing crackdown on the freedom of religion and expression within Sudan. The government arrested 150 people on charges of apostasy in July and in October, the police chose not to respond to the defacement of a religious statue in a Catholic church in Kosti, While Nile state.    The closing of space for religious freedom and expression is particularly troubling in the context of ongoing constitutional debates in Khartoum over whether the new constitution should be based on sharia or on civil and political rights. Actions taken to suppress and punish religious minorities could be interpreted as way of intimidating and silencing proponents of a secular Sudanese state.
