SUDAN POLITICAL ALERT: Amnesty International: Sudan: International community should impose sanctions on transitional authorities
Amnesty International called on the international community to “consider all forms of peaceful pressure, including targeted sanctions, on those members of the Sudanese transitional authorities responsible for the violent attack on sleeping protestors” on Monday 3 June.
Amnesty International also called for an “immediate end to the violent attacks by the Rapid Support Forces and other security forces,” and for those responsible to be held accountable for the attack “which left at least 13 people dead.”
Sarah Jackson, Amnesty International’s Deputy Regional Director for East Africa, called on the UN Security Council to consider targeted sanctions on members of the TMC and others involved in the attack.
Amnesty International also called on the African Union Peace and Security Council to convene an emergency meeting to address the situation in Sudan, and ensure respect for human rights and the right to peaceful protest.
