take action for darfuris at risk of torture...

more than 150 individuals, mainly from darfur, were arrested between may 9 and 16 in khartoum, sudan...many of those arrested are reported to be held incommunicado in national security detention facilities in the capital or at unknown locations...

all the detainees are at risk of torture or other ill-treatment, and may even be killed or subjected to enforced disappearance by the authorities...

join me in calling on sudanese authorities to immediately reveal the whereabouts of students adam abdel rahman fadul, ahmed orshi, lawyer abdel shakour hashim derar and al-ghali yahya shegifat, president of the association of darfur journalists...

peace out <3
