Sudan's human rights situation has deteriorated sharply since war erupted in April 2023, with the US State Department documenting torture, arbitrary detention and security laws weaponised against civilians.
It is within that context that the Darfur Victims Support Organisation has alleged the case of Omar Mohammed Omar Daris, 33, a trucking company manager who lived in Kuwait, who it claims was arrested at Port Sudan International Airport on March 15, 2024, immediately after landing, by six members of the Joint Security Cell.
The organisation, which says it based its findings on interviews with one of the victim's relatives and a review of statements related to the case, alleges Daris was blindfolded and taken to a security facility outside the airport.
