JEM says seven prisoners have been injured in the fight <\/strong><\/p>\n

The central reserve force or Abu Tira clashed with prisoners of the Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) who were sentenced to death in North Darfur’s Shala prison, a statement released by the JEM said on Thursday.<\/p>\n

The official spokesperson of the JEM, Jibril Adam Bilal, told Radio Dabanga that the JEM and the Liberation and Justice Movement (LJM) prisoners, who totaled up to 26 in number, clashed with Abu Tira on Thursday morning.<\/p>\n

The forces entered the prison with the aim of carrying of the execution verdict on the prisoners, leading to the wounding of seven prisoners — Elsaddig Abakr Yahiya, Mohammed Adam Hassaballa, Adam Nour Adam, Mohammed Juma Ibrahim, Ahmed Ibrahim, Abdulla Mohammed and Abdul Salam Abdulla Abul Hai.<\/p>\n

Bilal stated that the prisoners were in serious condition and that dozens of civilians in the city of El Fasher had gathered and protested against the presence of the Abu Tira inside the prison cells.<\/p>\n

Bleeding to death<\/strong><\/p>\n

He added that orders were given by the head of the prison, head of the central reserve force (Abu Tira) and the new National Congress Party (NCP) government to place the injured prisoners in cells that were only one cubic meter and prevented treatment, food and water from reaching the prisoners for three days with the aim of bleeding them to death.<\/p>\n

Bilal also said that the other prisoners who totaled up to 600 in number were deprived of health services, food and water and that the Abu Tira were still surrounding the building three days after the incident and occasionally threw tear-gas bombs on the prisoners.<\/p>\n

He also stated that the central reserve force prevented any human rights organization and dismissed them from the area to cover the reality of what was going on inside Shala prison.<\/p>\n

Bilal warned the National Congress Party (NCP) of carrying out execution verdicts on war prisoners and held the governor of North Darfur Osman Yusuf responsible if the verdicts are carried out. Bilal also called on human rights organizations to interfere to protect the prisoners.<\/p>\n
