Sudan security tortures man in Sirba, Central Darfur

The security apparatus released Adam Abakar Adam El Dom in Sirba, West Darfur, today, after torturing him for five days.

One of his relatives reported to Dabanga that El Dom, a trade middleman at Sirba, disappeared on Sunday.

“We were shocked to find him lying at the side of the road, this (Thursday) morning, in a very bad mental and physical condition,” he said.

“He told us that he had been held by security agents on Sunday. For consecutive five days, he was severely tortured, beaten and burned.”

The Sirba camps coordinator told Dabanga that many civilians have been randomly detained by security forces lately. “El Dom was the most recent case.”

He holds the commissioner of Sirba locality responsible for the detentions.
