14/7/2020: Amnesty International -  Sudan: Promptly investigate protester killings at Fata Borno

 Following the Fata Borno Massacre, the Amnesty International’s Director for East and Southern Africa, Deprose Muchena, calls for Sudanese authorities to “immediately review their security operations in Darfur” to ensure civilian protection “deliberate, unprovoked attacks”.

 Muchena also calls for Sudanese authorities to promptly conduct effective and impartial investigations into protester killings and human rights violations by “the militia group,” and end the “impunity enjoyed by the security forces and armed groups that have inflicted death, pain and suffering on the people of Darfur for 17 years.”

 Muchena also called for authorities to ensure that humanitarian organisations have unrestricted and secure access to Fata Borno, “so they can deliver humanitarian assistance to internally displaced people whose homes were looted and burnt by the armed militia.”
