URGENT ACTION
On March 14th 2:00AM, the National Intelligence and
Security Services known as NISS, Cracked down Jalila Khameis Koko house
in Khartoum , and arrested her in front of her family member and
relative IDPs from Nuba mountains, she had been hosting in her house .
Jalila is 45 years old Nuba woman, she is member of SPLM/N and very
active in the women NGOs in Sudan, she work as teacher in the unti
illtiracity program in Khartoum. Jalila is from Katcha village in Buram
locality, Nuba mountains/South Kordofan state. Her work with IDPs from
the conflict region in south Kordofan has helped many IDPs to reach for
some aid and humanitarian support which had been blocked from them by
the Khartoum government since the war erupted in the area. Until the
day she had been arrested she had been hosting 20 IDPs from her village
in her house.
The NISS kidnapped Jalila while she was at home with her sleeping
clothes, her husband told Arry that “they just kidnapped her in
seconds when we got outside the house they were already left”. Jalila
didn’t have any access to a lawyer and her husband and family were not
able to see her. The NISS told her huspand that they are detaining her
for helping the IDPs from Nuba mountains, and being a member of the
SPLM/N which an enemy to the state.
In the past month the NISS has started aggressive campaign against
the Nuba activists, especially in Khartoum, reports from Khartoum slums
pointing to numerous arbitrary disappearance and arbitrary arrests. The
Sudanese National security Services had raided houses of another
activist working on the Nuba Mountains issue last February. Arry Organization report about the Nuba Mountains Crisis documented the constant fear all Nuba people live through every not just inside Nuba mountains, but in all Sudan.
Arry calls on the Sudanese Government to urgently release Jalila
Khameis Koko, and allow her family to visit her, also we call on the
local and international organization to work to stop the ethnic
discriminating treatment the Nuba people live through inside the Sudan’s
territory, even out Nuba mountain /south Kordofan state where the
