Case Background On 19th August 2020, the SRCS secretary general issued a dismissal order for Kadogli SRCS manager but, he had resisted complying with the order. On 20 September 2020, the SRCS management issued other announcement (appendix - 1) warning the public about the dismissal order and informing the public that he is no longer representative of the SRCS in Kadogli. Again he did not comply, but he remained in office which prompted the workers/ employees to write a letter to the state governor informing him about the situation and their willing to conduct a peaceful demonstration against the act of the dismissed manager. However, there was a committee formed on 28th August 2020 for handling the office to the new manager but the dismissal manager refused even to sit with the committee. Basing on these reasons, on 3rd December 2020, the SRCS workers organized a protest at the SRCS building during the working hours. Three days after (6th December 2020) the police carried out the arrests using the SRCS vehicle2 which was driven by the dismissed manger. Lastly, on 25th December 2020, the dismissed manager handed over the office to the new manager through a formed committee. 2.1.7 Arrest of travellers by SAF in Al-Abbasiya On 6th December 2020, more than twenty passengers traveling on a truck from Haiban to Khartoum were blocked by Sudan Armed Force/ Military Intelligence at Al-Abbasiya town and forced to drive to the military base in town.
