The African Centre for Justice and Peace Studies (ACJPS) expresses deep concern over the safety and well-being of human rights defenders/activists in Sudan amidst the ongoing conflict. ACJPS calls upon the Sudanese authorities to carry out an independent and impartial investigation into the kidnapping and alleged torture of Ms. Ezdihar Juma Saed, a women human rights defender. Sudanese authorities must end the practice of harassment and intimidation of human rights defenders while performing their roles. Additionally, they should guarantee the enjoyment of all rights for human rights defenders provided in regional and international treaties ratified by Sudan.
