Legal Action Worldwide has filed the first war crimes complaint against Sudan's RSF with Kenya’s Office of Director of Public Prosecutions (ODPP) in Nairobi, Kenya
Speaking in Nairobi Antonia Mulvey, the organisation's Executive Director said this was arrived at after prolonged investigations and confessions from the victims citing that this marks the milestone for those who have suffered cruelly at the hands of Rapid Support Forces since the start of this war on 15 April 2023.
The complaint was filed on behalf of 12 Sudanese victims, men and women who were tortured, raped, sexually enslaved, arbitrarily detained, and witnessed members of their family being killed in and around Khartoum.
"The crimes took place in and around Khartoum. Both men and women have reported to us harrowing accounts of how Rapid Support Forces used sexual violence to punish and humiliate more than one woman who was subjected to sexual slavery," Mulvey stated
