On 12 June, nine men Tibin Abdel Rahman Isaag, Alhadi Abaker Hammad, Abaker Ahrran, Abader Adam Bakheet, Isaag Abaker, Saead Abdella Abaker, Mohamed Abdel Rahman Ibraheam, Easa Mohamed Adam and Mohamed Abdella Yahya ,all of Arab ethnicity, were sentenced to death by hanging by a Special Court in the city of Kass, South Darfur state. Amnesty International is concerned that the death penalty has been imposed following a judicial process that did not respect international standards for fair trials.
