Forty-seven people from North Darfur State, including the seven named above, were reportedly arrested between 26 June and 3 August after they spoke to members of the African Union Ceasefire Commission (CFC) and foreign government delegations about the situation of displaced people or about human rights violations by the government or government-backed Janjawid militias in Darfur. They are all believed to be held incommunicado, and are at risk of torture.
