تأريخ الحالة: فيصل محمد صالح

في 28 مارس/آذار 2016، تم منع عضوين من "مجموعة حقوقنا" -التي تضم إئتلافاً من المجتمع المدني السوداني- من السفر من السودان إلى جنيف، حيث كان من المقرر ان يشاركا في اجتماعات ذات صلة بمراجعة الامم المتحدة لسجل حقوق الإنسان في السودان، المُفترض اجراؤها بمشاركات صريحة من المجتمع المدني المستقل، حيث من المقرر طرح ملف السودان في إطار الاستعراض الدوري الشامل  في شهر مايو/أيار 2016. وقد أبلغ رجال الأمن في مطار الخرطوم الدولي مدافعَي حقوق الإنسان بحظرهما من السفر ثم قاموا بمصادرة جوازَي سفرهما.

مجموعة حقوقنا، إئتلاف من منظمات المجتمع المدني السودانية التي قدمت مؤخرا تقريرها عن حالة حقوق الإنسان في السودان إلى الأمم المتحدة ضمن عملية الاستعراض الدوري الشامل. ومن بين المنظمات التي يضمها هذا الإئتلاف : جمعية أسماء للتنمية -التي تهدف إلى رفع مستوى الوعي حول المساواة بين الجنسين في السودان من خلال العمل على بناء قدرات المرأة والمساهمة الفعالة في التحول الديمقراطي في السودان، و شبكة حقوق الإنسان والمساعدات القانونية ، و لجنة التضامن السوداني -التي تُمَثِّل أُسر ضحايا احتجاجات 2013 التي راح ضحيتها أكثر من 700 شخص طالبوا بالتغيير الديمقراطي في البلاد.

في وقت مبكر من يوم 28 مارس/آذار 2016، قام ضابط من المخابرات الوطنية وخدمات الأمن (جهاز الأمن والمخابرات)، في ملابس مدنية، بمنع كل من السيدة سوسن حسن الشوايا -مديرة جمعية أسماء للتنمية، و الدكتور معاوية شداد -رئيس شبكة حقوق الإنسان والمساعدات القانونية- من السفر من مطار الخرطوم الدولي إلى جنيف للمشاركة في الاجتماعات التحضيرية للفحص الدوري الشامل. بعد التحقق من أمتعتهم وتقديم جَوازَي سفرهما لمكتب الهجرة، تم توقيفهما وإعلامهما بحظرهما من السفر. فصودر جَوازَي سفرهما وطُلب منهما الحضور إلى قسم الإستعلام والتحقيق بمقر جهاز الأمن والمخابرات للحصول على التفاصيل.

وقبل ذلك، في 25 مارس/آذار 2016، منع جهاز الأمن الوطني الصحفي والمدافع عن حقوق الإنسان السيد فيصل محمد صالح من السفر من مطار الخرطوم الدولي إلى لندن. وقد تمت مصادرة جواز سفره دون أن يُبَلَّغ ما إذا كان الجواز سيعاد إليه. وكان فيصل قد كتب كثيرا حول انتهاكات حقوق الانسان والقمع الحكومي في السودان، كما أنه يعمل أيضا على تعزيز حرية التعبير وحرية الصحافة.

وفي 23 مارس/آذار 2016، منع جهاز الأمن الوطني السيد صديق يوسف -رئيس لجنة التضامن السودانية- من السفر من مطار الخرطوم الدولي إلى جنيف، وتمت مصادرة جواز سفره أيضا. ولم يسبق أن تم اخطاره من قبل ذلك بأي حظر للسفر ضده. وعندما راجع في وقت لاحق قسم الإستعلام والتحقيق بمقر جهاز الأمن والمخابرات، لم تُعطَ له أي معلومات حول حظره من السفر أو جواز سفره. وهذه هي المرة الرابعة التي يُمنع فيها رئيس اللجنة من السفر.
واجه مدافعو حقوق الإنسان في السودان مؤخرا المضايقات وتعرضوا للترهيب من قبل جهاز الأمن الوطني. في منتصف مارس/آذار، أقدم جهاز الأمن الوطني على مصادرة جوازات سفر موظفي مركز الخرطوم للتدريب والتنمية البشرية (تراكس)، وكذلك جوازات سفر زوار المركز، وذلك في عملية اقتحام للمركز.
وتعرب فرونت لاين ديفندرز عن قلقها الشديد إزاء فرض حظر السفر ضد المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان في السودان، ومصادرة  جوازات سفرهم، معتقدةً أن الدافع المباشر لهذه الممارسات هو نشاطهم السلمي والمشروع في مجال حقوق الإنسان.
وتحث فرونت لاين ديفندرز السلطات في جمهورية السودان على:
1- الرفع الفوري عن حظر السفر المفروض على جميع المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان المذكورة أسماؤهم، وإعادة جوازات سفرهم إليهم، والكف عن أي مضايقات مستقبلية ضدهم، حيث تعتقد فرونت لاين ديفندرز بأن السبب الوحيد لاستهدافهم هو عملهم المشروع والسلمي في الدفاع عن حقوق الإنسان؛

2- ضمان أن يكون جميع المدافعين عن حقوق الإنسان في جمهورية السودان قادرون -وفي جميع الأحوال- على القيام بعملهم المشروع في مجال حقوق الإنسان دون خوف من الإنتقام وبدون أية القيود.

Sudanese journalist Mr Faisal Mohamed Salih was arrested and detained on 8 May 2012 and Sudanese lawyer Ms Nagla Mohamed has been suffering from ongoing harassment and intimidation since 21 April 2012.

On 8 May 2012, prominent Sudanese journalist '''Mr Faisal Mohamed Salih''' was arrested from his home in Khartoum and detained by members of the National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS). Faisal Mohamed Salih is the Director of Taiba Press and a columnist at Al Akhbar newspaper. The whereabouts of Faisal Mohamed Salih's current detention are unknown.

Since 21 April 2012, '''Ms Nagla Mohamed''', prominent Sudanese human right defender and lawyer, has been the subject of summons, interrogation and ill-treatment by the NISS and has been forced to report repeatedly to its offices. Nagla Mohamed is the Director of Al Sharq Human Rights and Development Organisation and attended Front Line Defenders' Dublin Platform in September 2011.

Shortly before his arrest, Faisal Mohamed Salih told Front Line Defenders: "Yesterday was the eleventh day of daily reporting to the security office. At the end of the day, I told them that I am not coming on Tuesday, if they want me they should come and detain me. I am now waiting in my house".

Since 27 April 2012, Faisal Mohamed Salih has had to report to the NISS offices in Khartoum where he has been interrogated and detained from morning until early evening. The last daily arbitrary summons and detention was on 7 May 2012, when he was held from morning until 4pm. When he was asked to leave and to report back on the following day, Faisal Mohamed Salih refused, stating that he had been told the summons will continue for ten days and that he had already been summoned for an extra day.

On 25 April 2012, the arbitrary summons of Faisal Mohamed Salih began when he was detained and interrogated from 8pm until 12am in relation to comments he aired on Al Jazeera TV on 19 April 2012 in reference to a speech made by the Sudanese President on the conflict in Heglig. He was told the he was not authorised to make such comments in public and that he should bring any concerns he has to the private attention of authorities through official channels. Over the following ten days, Faisal Mohamed Salih had to report to the NISS offices where he was held from morning until 5pm without being questioned.

Faisal Mohamed Salih has previously been the subject of judicial harassment. He was prevented from attending a training workshop held in Tanzania from 30 April to 3 May 2012. In 2011, he was judicially harassed as a result of his efforts to highlight violations committed against activist Ms Safia Ishaq Mohamed, who was raped while being held in the custody of the NISS.

Human right defender and lawyer Nagla Mohamed has been the subject of ongoing harassment and intimidation by the NISS since 21 April 2012. Her most recent summons was on 8 May 2012, when she was asked to report to the offices of the NISS in the city of Port Sudan where she lives and works. She was first detained at her home on 21 April 2012 by 14 male security officers from the NISS, some of whom were armed with pipes measuring approximately 1.40 centimetres. She was taken by the security officers to the NISS offices. On her arrival, she was taken to a dark location infested with insects and flies and was threatened to be beaten. The security officers called her an insect and verbally abused her.

After two hours, Nagla Mohamed was taken to another room where she was interrogated by two male officers on issues related to her private life and family, and her work as a human rights defender. During this time, she was again verbally abused and called a “traitor” and an “infidel”. The interrogation continued until 10pm after which time she was taken home. While on her way home, she was told by officers that she was under constant surveillance and that they knew a lot of information about her which they could use to defame her character.

Nagla Mohamed was ordered to report to the NISS offices the following day at 10am. She was interrogated again, this time focusing on her relations with political parties including the Communist Party of Sudan and the Sudan Peoples' Liberation Movement (SPLM). The interrogation ended at 1pm and she was asked to go home. Shortly afterwards, Nagla Mohamed was contacted by phone and ordered to return to the NISS offices. Upon her arrival, she was taken to office of the Director who threatened to detain her as result of her activities. She was subsequently held in a room where she was detained until 6pm. She was released and ordered to report at 8am the following day. Nagla Mohamed told them that she could not come on that day due to a hearing she had to attend as a lawyer.

On 24 April 2012, Nagla Mohamed reported to the NISS offices where she was detained in an isolated room for 12 hours without access to toilet facilities. When she told the officers that she needed to use the toilet facilities, she was taken to a toilet designated for men. She was released and ordered to report back on the following day. When she protested, she was told that these measures were intended to disrupt her work and to deter her from involvement in activities against the Government. When she reported back during the following days, Nagla Mohamed was held in the same room until evening. As a result of the poor conditions during her detention, she fell ill and was taken to hospital, where she was diagnosed with a nervous breakdown.

Front Line Defenders express serious concern for the physical and psychological integrity of Faisal Mohamed Salih and Nagla Mohamed. Front Line Defenders is deeply concerned about the arbitrary arrest and detention of Faisal Mohamed Salih, and the harassment and intimidation of Nagla Mohamed, and believes that these measures against the human rights defenders are solely motivated by their peaceful and legitimate human rights work in Sudan.
