Human rights abuses in Sudan

Human rights abuses in the Sudan are all pervasive and in 1992-93 there was an international outcry from the UN Security Council, the US and the European Community condemning the Sudan government. This Briefing examines abuses in the South, Nuba Mountains and Darfur. What follows is just a sample of the human rights abuses in the Sudan. Because of the security clampdown and the danger to anyone collecting data, the authors have relied largely on secondary sources – human rights organisations, NGOs and international agencies.
