Khartoum, May 22(Darfur24) Sources told Darfur 24 that three members
of the Resistance Committees who were transferred from Soba prison in
Khartoum to Port Sudan prison in eastern Sudan were admitted to
hospital as their health condition deteriorated.
The same source pointed out that each of “Mohammed Makkawi, Magdy
Jaafar, and Badther Mudathir suffers from difficult conditions inside
the prison, which caused them to suffer complications that required
their transfer to the hospital for treatment.
The Emergency Lawyers Committee announced – in a statement seen by
Darfur 24 – that detainees inside prisons are exposed to many dangers
that threaten their lives and their physical and psychological health
in light of the neglect of the prison administration to treat them,
especially since some of them suffer from chronic diseases.
The committee revealed that a number of detainees were exposed to
dangerous and widespread fevers inside Port Sudan prison, given that
the entire Sudanese prison environment, especially Port Sudan prison,
suffers from severe food shortages, unavailability of potable water,
and unavailability of water for daily use, which forces detainees to
shower every three At least days, in a city where temperatures and
humidity rise, which threatens the spread and emergence of other
diseases.
The committee explained that the detainees in Port Sudan prison
numbered 28 political prisoners, ranging in age from their twenties to
thirties, and one detainee over fifty suffers from chronic diseases.
Pointing out that there are detainees in “Al-Houta” prison in the
White Nile, and “Debk” prison, north of Khartoum, detainees in
mysterious circumstances, no one was allowed to visit them, in a
deteriorating environment in which poisonous insects abound, and there
are detainees also in Soba prison, including minors.
The committee held the current authority responsible for the lives and
mental health of the revolutionaries, given the severe deterioration
in the prison environment, in light of the inhumane practices of
violence and psychological humiliation, and the failure to provide
health care approved by all international laws and charters and the
basic principles of human rights. Demanding all judicial institutions
to order the immediate release of all detainees and not to stain their
hands with this dangerous human rights and human file, and to distance
these institutions from exploiting the revolutionaries to serve their
agenda.
