SUDAN: 18 OPPONENTS SENTENCED TO DEATH

In September, a court in Dongola sentenced 17 RSF fighters and one civilian to death for an attack on Merowe airport, Sudan Tribune reported on October 4, 2024.
These cases raise concerns about due process and the potential for politically motivated prosecutions amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis and widespread human rights abuses triggered by the conflict.
The ongoing conflict between the army and the RSF has fueled a wave of prosecutions, with authorities increasingly utilizing the judicial system to target those perceived as sympathetic to the paramilitary group.
