As the humanitarian situation worsens in Sudan by the day, the plight of press freedom still remains under an ever-present threat. Over the past decade, Sudan has consistently ranked near the bottom of the World Press Freedom Index. This is one of the reasons Radio Dabanga has been forced to operate in exile from Amsterdam, since the height of the former Omar Al Bashir dictatorship. This year\u2019s theme for the 30th anniversary of World Press Freedom Day organised by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organisation (UNESCO) is suitably centred around \u201cfreedom of expression as a driver for all other human rights\u201d.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The UN General Assembly proclaimed *May 3 as an international day for press freedom 30 years ago, and under the Universal Declaration of Human Rights 75 years ago, the right to freedom of opinion and expression was entrenched.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, whilst this essential preservation emphasising an adversarial and pluralistic media landscape is present in most democracies in the world, Sudanese journalists and media professionals, especially women in the field, have faced increasing violations and threats in recent times.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Earlier this year, the journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/sudan-journalist-faces-death-threats-after-quran-school-expose\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Safaa El Fahal<\/a> at Sudan\u2019s <em>El Jareeda<\/em> newspaper, received threats from an extremist Islamic group via Facebook, after she wrote a column on military training taking place in Quran schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El Fahal told Radio Dabanga that she had covered the story of a woman who told her that women and girls were receiving military training in Quran schools.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In a message via Messenger, a person who stated that he belongs to the Missionary Movement for Preaching and Fighting, declared her an infidel and threatened to \u201cseize and slaughter her\u201d, adding that she \u2018had better repent before we get you\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Similarly, the investigative journalist <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/anger-as-north-darfur-director-of-police-warns-journalist-the-news-you-published-will-condemn-you\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Zamzam Khater<\/a> was threatened by the North Darfur State Police Director, after she published news of a crime allegedly related to the involvement of individuals affiliated with the police.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The director threatened Khater with verbal violence in a text message: \u201cThe news you published will condemn you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In an interview with the Sudan Today programme on Radio Dabanga, Khater expressed her fear that she would be targeted by the police or that she would be framed for publishing this news.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several months ago, reporter <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/outrage-after-journalist-was-illegally-detained-by-police-in-central-darfur\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Hafida Abdallah Mousa<\/a> was detained by police in Zalingei the capital of Central Darfur. The authorities reportedly did not adhere to any legal procedure when arresting Mousa.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>She was arrested covering a vigil of vegetable traders in a local market. Eyewitness told Radio Dabanga that before she was arrested, the police prevented her from filming and covering the event and took her phone before taking her to the police station and detaining her \u201cwithout following any legal procedures\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to today\u2019s statement by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.consilium.europa.eu\/en\/press\/press-releases\/2023\/05\/02\/world-press-freedom-day-statement-by-the-high-representative-on-behalf-of-the-european-union\/?utm_source=dsms-auto&amp;utm_medium=email&amp;utm_campaign=World+Press+Freedom+Day%3a+Statement+by+the+High+Representative+on+behalf+of+the+European+Union\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">European Union<\/a> for World Press Freedom Day, \u201cwomen journalists are particularly vulnerable to threats and increasing attacks, both offline and online\u201d. They add that women in the field are exposed to \u201cstigmatisation, sexist hate speech, trolling, sexual and gender-based violence and even murder\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Journalists Association for Human Rights in Sudan<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Regrettably, incidents against journalists have become commonplace in Sudan. The Journalists Association for Human Rights (JAHR) in Sudan highlighted a number of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/sudan-journalists-condemn-junta-curbs\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">significant abuses<\/a> against Sudanese press freedom on the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists last year on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/days\/end-impunity\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">November 2<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In their statement, JAHR pointed out that since <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/sudan-military-seizes-power-arrests-pm-and-civilian-ministers-in-dawn-coup\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat of October 25, 2021<\/a> an \u201cincreasing brutal restriction\u201d on the press has taken hold through a slew of \u201c<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/investigative-journalist-barred-from-entering-sudan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">repressive policies<\/a> and practises\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>According to Feisal El Bagir, coordinator of JAHR, as well as journalists facing \u201charassment, kidnapping and false imprisonment\u201d, methods such as \u201cblocking the internet, cutting off telephone services, and hacking digital devices\u201d have become well established tools to silence dissent by Sudan\u2019s security service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>El Bagir renewed the association\u2019s commitment in continuing their efforts with the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate, the Women\u2019s Journalists Entity, and all parties in the journalistic arena, in order to \u201cestablish the largest coalition\u201d of both men and women journalist organisations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/acjps-documents-harassment-and-censorship-of-journalists-in-sudan\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">against impunity<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>JAHR holds the junta authority responsible for their crimes against journalists, adding that they also used their power \u201cto cover up their crimes legally\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Press freedom<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Last year, on the occasion of the first anniversary of the October 25 coup, the Sudanese Journalists Syndicate lamented the unprecedented targeting the press and media in Sudan faced since the October 2021 coup, and said that the press and media in Sudan witnessed \u201ca <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dabangasudan.org\/en\/all-news\/article\/sudanese-journalists-syndicate-criticize-terrible-regression-of-press-freedom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">terrible regression<\/a> in terms of press freedom\u201d.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Sudan ranks 151 out of 180 in the <a href=\"https:\/\/rsf.org\/en\/index\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">2022 World Press Freedom Index<\/a>, and 29 out of 100, i.e. \u2018Not Free\u2019, in Freedom House\u2019s Internet Freedom Index. \u201cAnti-journalist predators enjoy total impunity and are protected by the authorities,\u201d according to Reporters Without Borders. On its website, the organisation states that \u201cjournalists are working in a worsening climate of violence\u201d since the coup d\u2019\u00e9tat of October 2021.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\" \/>\n\n\n\n<p>*<em>Every year, May 3 is a date which celebrates the fundamental principles of press freedom, to evaluate press freedom around the world, to defend the media from attacks on their independence and to pay tribute to journalists who have lost their lives in the exercise of their profession. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.unesco.org\/en\/days\/press-freedom\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">World Press Freedom Day<\/a> was proclaimed by the UN General Assembly in 1993 following a <a href=\"https:\/\/unesdoc.unesco.org\/ark:\/48223\/pf0000090448\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Recommendation adopted at the twenty-sixth session of UNESCO\u2019s General Conference in 1991<\/a>.
