NERTETE (15 July) – The security apparatus beat and tortured Arif Abdul Raheem Osman an activist from the Jebel Marra region. The reason is not yet known and people told Radio Dabanga that the victim might have been transferred to Zalinje.
Members of the family feared their son will be subjected to further torture. Their anxiety was due to the fact that the security forces had prevented the family and their lawyer from visiting the victim and because there have been no charges so far brought against him. Meanwhile, civil society organizations in Darfur appealed for his immediate release and warned of ill-treatment or torture being inflicted on the victim.
