SUDAN POLITICAL ALERT: UN human rights office statement on Sudan

7/6/19: UN human rights office statement on Sudan

The UN human rights office has called for a monitoring team to be deployed to Sudan to examine alleged violations during this week’s military crackdown.

 The office is urging authorities to investigate the use of “excessive force” against protest camps, including the alleged involvement of the Rapid Support Forces and members linked to atrocities in Darfur.

 Spokesman Rupert Colville said the UN was seeking the military junta’s cooperation to deploy the monitoring mission.
