The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) is deeply concerned about the increased cases of detention operations and the use of torture by the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and its allied forces in Sinjah town, violating numerous provisions of international human rights and humanitarian law. Firstly, the arbitrary arrest and incommunicado detention of civilians contravenes protections against unlawful detention under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and African Charter on Human and Peoples’ Rights. Secondly, the use of torture: beatings, electric shocks, and deprivation of food and medical care documented in detention centers violates prohibitions on torture and cruel, inhuman, or degrading treatment under the UN Convention Against Torture, the Geneva Conventions, and the Rome Statute of the ICC.
