In a letter issued today, DefendDefenders and partners condemn the deliberate attack on peaceful democracy protesters in Khartoum that has resulted in at least 100 dead and hundreds of injured. We demand a strong international response to immediately stop the violence and ensure accountability.

We highlight that these horrific acts demonstrate the Transitional Military Council’s (TMC) lack of commitment to a peaceful transition to a civilian government and the risk of further political polarization and of mass violent confrontation.

The international community cannot afford to wait or to stay silent.

Recalling the letter sent to Members and Observers of the UN Human Rights Council (HRC) in January 2019, we urge the Council to hold a special (emergency) session on the situation in Sudan and to adopt a resolution setting up a fact-finding mission to monitor and report on human rights violations and pave the way for accountability.

The HRC, where no State enjoys veto powers, should take action to overcome the UN Security Council’s failure to condemn the violence. In the letter, we and partners formulate recommendations with a view to urging the international community to do everything in its power to prevent the takeover of the government by military factions associated with the abuses and repression of the former regime.

Dear friends, I bring you this month’s greetings from the

Human Rights Defender of the month: Veronica Almedom

Veronica Almedom is a poster child of successful immigration. A duo Eritrean and Swiss citizen, she was born in Italy, and grew up in Switzerland where she permanently resides. Her parents are some of the earliest victims of Eritrea’s cycles of violence. When Eritrea’s war of independence peaked in the early 1980s, they escaped the country as unaccompanied minors, wandering through Sudan, Saudi Arabia, before making the hazard journey across the Mediterranean into Europe. There, they crossed first to Italy, and finally, to Switzerland, where they settled first as refugees, and later, as permanent residents.
