Sudan: ARTICLE 19 welcomes action on the country's human rights crisis

Since October 2021, authorities in Sudan have adopted a range of repressive actions denying people the right to freedom of expression and assembly. This includes harassment, intimidation of protesters and citizens, and arbitrary raids on media houses.
ARTICLE 19 welcomes the High Commissioner’s appointment of Adama Dieng to monitor the human rights situation in Sudan. With an unfolding crisis for the right to freedom of expression in the country, we urge the High Commissioner and Adama Dieng to fully examine violations of this vital right and report to the Council.
