Sudanese Resistance Committees (neighbourhood groups that have spearheaded Sudan’s pro-democracy movement since 2019) accused security authorities in many parts of Sudan of targeting activists and volunteers working in hospitals and emergency committees in contradiction with the globally recognised princaliples and human rights.

Committees in an Omdurman suburb condemned detention of its member, Anas Abdel Majid, by security.
Since eruption of war between the Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) in mid-April, many political, media and voluntary activists have been detained and revived threats by both warring parties.
Transgressions
Al-Hasahisa Committees said in a statement that the Military Intelligence has been targeting volunteers in the hospitals and displaced people’s shelters holding them in detentions, without charge except for unverified accusations such as, “accomplice with RSF militia”. It turns a blind eye to the fact that the Resistance Committees used to publicly call for liquidation of the RSF while the SAF generals resisted this demand arguing that RSF was a legitimate son of the army.
“Detention without charge and depriving the detainees rights to visitation and safety place the Military Intelligence on equal footing with the violations committed by both the RSF and Intelligence and Security Services of the deposed Ingaz regime, said the statement.

of dictatorial practices the coup government pursues to militarize politics, confiscate public life and reinstate military totalitarianism.
