Here we go again.
On 21 October, The Special Court has sentenced to death four other children, found guilty of having participated in the assault on a convoy in south Darfur May 2010. Only two children were subjected to medical examinations to verify their age, as required by the Sudanese Child Act, approved by the Government, which prohibits the execution of minors under 18.
Signature too the appeal of Italians for Darfur, that the death penalty be commuted to other sentence. About 15,000 people have already done in just three weeks, during the previous complaint of Italians for Darfur, consecrating the success with the suspension of the sentence. Also this time, we hope that through your signatures, delivered in a short time our call on the Sudanese authorities. "
Antonella Napoli, President of Italians for Darfur
An appeal for the termination of the death sentence of six children of ethnic Fur accused of being part of the Justice and Equality Movement, one of the rebel movements most 'important of Darfur. As learned from the Sudan Tribune last November, the sentence is not 'still enforceable and that is why we ask that it be officially canceled.
also Article 21 and other organizations have collected and re-launched the initiative promoted by 'Italians for Darfur' which continues to denounce human rights violations in Sudan. The six children, aged 'between 11 and 16 years, with another 150 guerrillas are accused of having participated in the 2008 attack in the Sudanese capital that causes' more than 300 victims. The court
Khartoum has so far issued more than 100 death sentences, many of which are already 'done. With this appeal we ask the Sudanese government to suspend the sentence but also to deepen the responsibility 'of the involvement of children in these acts of war. It must be ascertained whether the JEM, as unfortunately we can only guess at the time, has used child soldiers in the attack in Khartoum and if you continue to recruit minors forcibly removing them from their families, thus depriving 'them to live that childhood and adolescence are due to them.
