Sudanese Security forces opened fire on inmates in El-Fasher prison when they attempted to prevent the execution of some rebels sentenced to death, rebel and independent sources said.
The central reserve force or Abu Tira clashed with prisoners of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) who were sentenced to death in North Darfur's Shala prison, a statement released by the JEM said. The official spokesperson of the JEM, Jibril Adam Bilal, told Radio Dabanga that the JEM and the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) prisoners, who totaled up to 26 in number, clashed with Abu Tira.
The forces entered the prison with the aim of carrying of the execution verdict on the prisoners, leading to the killing of two and the wounding of 15 prisoners
Shala prison authorities in the capital of North Darfur called on some 26 rebels sentenced to death to execute them. However, as rumours were already spread inside the prison, the inmates attempted to prevent the move of the first batch of five prisoners and clashed with the security forces.
The state governor Osman Kibir said the rioters broke the doors of some cells and destroyed facilities inside the prisons. He said only 50 of 646 inmates were involved in the riot.
Sources told Radio Dabanga that the authorities decided to deport a number of inmates to Kober prison in Khartoum. Speaking to Radio Dabanga the sources said that the central reserve forces and the security forces were using live ammunition, tear gas and rubber bullets to control those who were refusing to carry out their death penalty sentences. Those wounded were allegedly taken to undisclosed locations outside El Fasher.
