The Sudanese Doctors’ Network revealed that dozens of prisoners died due to the dire humanitarian conditions they endured before being freed from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) detention in Jebel Aulia. It reported that more than 1,000 prisoners were suffering from hunger and disease and were found in poor condition.
In a statement on Thursday, the network expressed regret over the use of torture and hunger as tools for revenge against prisoners in RSF detention centers in Khartoum, where more than 1,000 prisoners have suffered from starvation and lack of food and medical care.
The network added that its team managed to speak with several prisoners who confirmed being deprived of basic rights and subjected to various abuses.
The network called on UN agencies, international and local organizations to document these violations and support the prisoners throughout their recovery process. It also urged the international community to pressure the RSF to treat prisoners in accordance with international law, including the Geneva Conventions and UN treaties that guarantee prisoners’ rights.
