detaining civilians in military camps and other forms of violations have been committed by Police, SAF, PDF, NISS and MI. The violated rights included in this report are; security of persons, right to fair trial, rights of civilians within conflict areas, right to accommodation (unlawful eviction), religious rights, inhuman treatment like torture (both physical and psychological) among others. The humanitarian situation in SK and BN has not been well since the war broke out in 2011. The IDPs and people in conflict areas have been targeted, harassed and arrested by security agencies who accuse them of associating with SPLA-N. Also many times people under detention have been denied their rights like medical access, family and lawyers’ visits, though rule of law is lacking. Whereas security officials committed crimes in different localities of SK and BN, they were not apprehended due to impunity and the unwillingness by authorities to fight injustice. On religious freedoms, the activities of the church and Christians are closely monitored and interfered by the state. There are incidents where Christians’ or church leaders’ rights were infringed upon and other related incidences like Ministry of Endowment and Guidance intervened in matters or management of the church. 1.4.1 Aim This report aims to bring to light the human rights violations and abuses in SK and BN states of Sudan (government territory) and the situation of IDPs from the two states. 1.4.2 Objectives  To provide the United Nations‟ Human Rights Expert for Sudan, African Union AU, Amnesty International (AI), Human Rights Watch (HRW), the Diplomatic Missions/embassies in Sudan, institutes and individuals with information in order to enhance their efforts to compel the Government of Sudan to respect human rights.  To lobby and engage the Sudanese Civil Society in the process of human rights advocacy.  To study the human rights situation at the conflict zones of SK and BN in Sudan and come up with appropriate recommendations. 3
