28 Apr. (EUROPE PRESS) –
The United Nations has warned that the clashes between the Sudanese Army and the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) could worsen even more after the attacks against various prisons in the country that have led to the escape of a still undetermined number of prisoners. many of them imprisoned for blood crimes.
“We are deeply alarmed by the prisoners who have been released, or who have escaped, from the country’s prisons,” said the spokeswoman for the United Nations High Commissioner for Human Rights, Ravina Shamdasani, during a press conference on Friday. in Geneva.
These releases, in the spokesperson’s opinion, could lead “into more violence, within a generalized climate of impunity” and in the midst of a progressive “and dramatic deterioration of the Human Rights situation in the country.”
At the moment there are no concrete figures on the number of prisoners who could have escaped from the country’s prisons. The correspondent for the Arab chain Al Jazeera reports around 25,000 escaped or released in attacks by unspecified armed groups, but this figure is practically impossible to verify given the chaotic situation prevailing in Sudan.
The Sudanese Ministry of the Interior denounced, this past Wednesday, that RSF fighters broke into five prisons in the country and proceeded to free all those incarcerated during assaults that claimed the lives of several guards. The paramilitaries, on the other hand, accuse the Army of these attacks, intended according to the guerrillas to release Islamist elements related to the former regime of dictator Omar al Bashir from prison.
The autocrat is currently in an Army hospital after his transfer last weekend from Kober prison, the most important in the country and also attacked by armed groups, but former Sudanese Interior Minister Ahmed Harun, a member of the entourage of Al Bashir and, like the former Sudanese president, accused of war crimes in Darfur, he has managed to escape.
