HUDO Centre Date: 20th September 2023 No.: H.K/UA/13/023 URGENT APPEAL SAF ARRESTED AND IMPRISONED MR. ALI ALSAID IN ROSERIES, SUDAN On 3rd September 2023, Sudan Armed Forces (SAF) arrested Mr. Ali Alsaid Ali in Roseries and sentenced him for three months imprisonment referring to the Blue Nile State governor’s emergency order. He is detained because of the Facebook post that he shared with different groups. On 3rd September 2023, Sudan Armed Force (SAF) in Roseries summoned Mr. Ali Alsaid Ali by phone call to report at the military base of Roseries. When he arrived there, he was interrogated about a post that he had shared on different Facebook accounts. Mr. Ali was subsequently detained incommunicado for a period of four days at the military base and he was tortured. On 7th September 2023, he was transferred to Roseries prison where he will be imprisoned for three (3) months. This is based on the Blue Nile State governor’s emergency order (whereby the prisoner will not appear before any court of law for a period of three months). The Facebook post was initially written by unidentified person criticizing the Blue Nile state governor for visiting Roseries town without passing by the IDPs area or interact with them to address their needs. Mr. Ali was accused of sharing this post. That the post considered by SAF incites and provokes hatred. HUDO Centre expresses its concern for the safety of civilians in Sudan during this difficult time of SAF and RSF fights (conflict) and calls for the following:  Blue Nile State governor to revoke and stop using the emergency order in violating the civilians’ rights.  Sudan Armed Forces to stop arresting civilians arbitrarily.  The Sudan Armed Force in Roseries to immediately release Mr. Ali Alsaid Ali unconditionally or refer him to the court of law if there is a genuine case against him.  The SAF in Blue Nile State to investigate the circumstances of Mr. Ali Alsaid Ali arrest.
