Sudan army torturing people to death, says rights group

Sudan army torturing people to death, says rights group

The Emergency Lawyers group in Sudan has accused the country's army of torturing people to death. According to the group, the army is operating "execution chambers" in the capital, Khartoum, where individuals are being subjected to brutal mistreatment and killed. The report comes amid ongoing political unrest in Sudan, where the military seized power in a coup in October 2021, ousting the civilian government. The country has since been rocked by widespread protests, with security forces cracking down on dissent. The Emergency Lawyers group has stated that it has evidence of the army's involvement in these alleged torture and execution practices, which it says are being carried out in secret locations. The group has called for an independent investigation into the matter and for those responsible to be held accountable. The situation in Sudan remains volatile, with concerns over the ongoing human rights abuses and the country's political and economic stability.
