the prosecutor charges by rejecting some, replacing some by others or adding
depending on judge opinion. Reject all charges without replacing (which mean to
free the defendant). Depending to this step the association of defense lawyers

defendants on this case, unless the prosecutor did other modification. Up to
now the judge did nothing in their case.
Important Notes:
• Now it is appeared clearly the number of the defendants is
more than what declared. The prosecutor brought four defendants unlisted, which
made the total number (89) instead of (85), however HUDO got strong information
about other detainees in Elrosearis prison, the prosecutor planning to add them
to this trials.
• The court now involving in violating detainees rights by keeping them long in
jail without taking any design on them.
• The court sessions of declaring the charges by judge on 8th July 2013 is very
important and it is joint court sessions. These sessions will discover the
court minding.
• There are some among the defendants
are members in (NCP) and never related to SPLM/N, but they are targeted
ethnically (etc. Elsheikh Ali Elnour, NCP member, public police member,
Angasana tribe).
Appeal: The trials entered serious and critical point,
within will be more clear what the government planning. HUDO is appealing
strongly for all national and international NGOs, UN agencies, embassies, and
individual activist, to attend the upcoming mentioned court sessions.
