HUDO Centre were also released. All of them were released in bad health state particularly Aldoma who was not allowed to travel for treatment. Aldoma’s family was threatened by MI when they attempted to open a case at police. Later, on 6th September Aldoma was taken by his family to Um-Rawaba town (85 km from Al-Abbasiya) against the MI orders because his health had deteriorated with a severe skin burning, hematuria and testis swelling. On 8th September 2018, he passed away at Um-Rawaba hospital and a case was filed there. According to a reliable source from Um-Rawaba hospital informed HUDO that, the cause of death was renal failure and high degree of skin burning by sulfuric acid. About the other released detainees, Kamal and Mustafa still report to MI office on a daily basis as ordered in their terms of release. HUDO is very concerned about the situation of civilians in SK State especially within the emergency status which gives the MI extreme power and impunity. HUDO calls upon;  Sudan government to conduct genuine investigations and to hold to account before court AlAbbasiya military commandant and the MI members responsible for the inhuman acts and the death of Aldouma.  Sudan government to end the state of emergency in conflict areas which enables MI to arrest civilians at will.  The military authority in Al-Abbasiya to immediately stop any kind of arrests towards civilians and to handle any kind of accusation towards civilians to the courts of law.  To the UN agencies on ground to observe, monitor and run investigation in this case as well as to disclose for the international community the real situation in conflict areas.  The international community to act urgently with needed measures towards Sudan government and to put more pressure on the regime to stop violating fundamental rights of civilians in conflict areas. 2
