SUDAN INSIGHT ALERT: Human Rights Watch – Sudan: Military Takeover Threatens Rights

26/10/2021: Human Rights Watch – Sudan: Military Takeover Threatens Rights

Human Rights Watch (HRW) call for Sudan’s international and regional partners to press Sudan’s military leaders to respect rights and urge them to ensure that they will not damage or reverse the progress on a reform agenda.

HRW call for the international community to: “make clear that small but important steps towards redress for past harm and establishing a more positive rights framework should not be lost. They should rigorously monitor the rights situation on the ground, pressing the military immediately to release all political detainees and to end arbitrary limits on key rights.”

Sudan’s military coup leaders were also called upon to and protect the rights of all Sudanese people, including the right to life and peaceful protest.
