HUDO Centre Date: 2nd December 2024 No.: H.K/UA/14/024 URGENT APPEAL SAF ARRESTED MR. MOHAMMED IN ABU JIBAIHA, SUDAN On 27th October 2024, Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) soldiers arrested Mr. Mohammed Hassan from where he is residing in Abu Jibaiha. SAF accused him of being a collaborator of RSF. He is still held incommunicado and could be undergoing torture. On 24th October 2024, Mr. Mohammed Hassan Dafallah together with his family fled from the war situation in Khartoum and came to Abu Jibaiha. On 27th October 2024, three (3) days after his arrival to Abu Jibaiha, a group of SAF soldiers came with a military vehicle and arrested him. He was arrested from Elgala neighbourhood of Abu Jibaiha where he was residing with his family. The soldiers did not give a reason as to why he was arrested but they were shouting at him while accusing him to be a collaborator of RSF. They (SAF soldiers) drove him away in their vehicle to the military garrison. Since then, Mr. Mohamed has been held incommunicado in Abu Jibaiha military garrison and his family has not been allowed to visit him or ask about him. HUDO Centre is concerned about the safety of civilians in Sudan during this difficult period of the conflict/ fighting between SAF and RSF and calls for the following:  The Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) in Abu-Jibaiha to immediately and unconditionally release Mr. Mohammed or send him to the courts of law if he is facing any charges.  The commander of SAF in South Kordufan State /Nuba Mountains to investigate the circumstance behind his arrest.  The Sudanese Armed Forces to stop the arrest of civilians.  The prosecutor in South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains to ensure the rule of law.
