GIRFNA Statement
The family of the Sudanese journalist, Somia Ismail Hundosa has started legal procedures against elements from the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) after finding their daughter on Friday morning November 2, thrown in a remote area in Sharg Al Nil locality of Khartoum. Her hair was totally shaved and she has signs of physical and psychological torture.
Somia Hundosa’s hair was shaved when she was abducted by NISS.
Somia Hundosa has worked previously at Al Watan and Al Sahafa newspapers. She disappeared the evening of October 29, 2012. Her sister had received a phone call from her where Hundosa was pleading with others to allow her to speak with her sister. After that Hundosa’s family received an anonymous text message saying that Hundosa, “was detained by NISS”.
Hundosa resides in Egypt and had come to Sudan to spend the Eid holidays. According to her family, she was detained not far from her home by a force of seven individuals who were riding a Prado pickup truck. She was then transported to an unknown location belonging to NISS, shown a number of her newspaper articles and accused to opposing the regime and disrespecting the President.
Her family explained to GIRIFNA that Hundosa is a mother of a 3-year old child and that her origins are from the Darfurian Rizaigat tribe. While in detention she was subjected to physical “torture and beating with whips and hands”. She was also subjected to “verbal racist slurs directed at her and her tribe”, and her hair was totally shaved with the excuse that her, “hair looks like the hair of Arabs while she belongs to the slaves in Darfur”.
At the end of Hundosa’s ordeal, NISS took her to the remote area of Khor al Samra in the suburbs of al Duraishab area in Sharg Al Nil locality of Khartoum.
Somia was burned in several locations, including her upper arm.
She was thrown there by the force that had detained her. Her family has since then started legal procedures against a high- ranking official at NISS who had called Hundosa two days before her arrest and summoned her to NISS offices in Khartoum, Bahari. The NISS official in question is well known and was responsible for the Electronic Jihad Unit, known for its surveillance of activists and the hacking for their social media and email accounts. Hundosa’s family reported that the legal procedures are advancing very slowly.
In addition, the Sudanese network, Journalists for Human Rights (known as JAHR), called upon the Government of Sudan to immediately investigate these, “horrendous violations, hold accountable responsible officials and stop security agents from bullying”, as per their statement. The JAHR network expressed solidarity with the the journalist, poet and activist Somia Hundosa and her family.
Human rights violations in Khartoum and the larger towns of Sudan has deteriorated in the last months. Thousands have been arrested and detained since mid-June 2012, when Sudan witnessed large protests against Omer Al Bashir’s regime, which came to power through a military coup in partnership with the Islamic movement that has ideological links with the Egyptian Muslim Brotherhood.
Sudan is among the countries that violates freedom of the press, and ranks poorly when it comes to respecting freedom of the media and of journalists. President Omer Al Bashir of Sudan is wanted by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes and ethnic cleansing in Darfur. Since three years, there is an arrest warrant for him, but Sudan refuses hand him over and does not respect the decision of ICC or the Security Council.
Since last year, the regions of the Nuba Mountains and Blue Nile State have been witnessing vast State violations against civilians with no sign of serious efforts for resolving the conflict in the three areas that are now under an emergency decree. A sign that, according to analysts, will bring more violations and mass displacements to those regions.
