Sudan’s Unionist Alliance Party has accused the Khartoum State Security Cell of carrying out widespread arrests, political targeting, and torture of detainees opposed to the war.
In a statement, the party said the cell, allegedly backed by members of the dissolved National Congress Party (NCP), has been arresting citizens, activists, and Resistance Committees members in what it described as a campaign to silence calls for an end to the conflict.
According to the Alliance, the security cell uses neighborhood informants to track activists, detains them, and transfers them to the former NCP headquarters in Khartoum. There, detainees are allegedly subjected to “brutal torture and humiliation” before being taken to what the party called sham trials lacking basic judicial standards.
The Alliance said such actions violate Sudan’s constitution, domestic laws, the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, and the Convention against Torture, to which Sudan is a signatory.
It called for an immediate halt to the arrests, the release of all detainees, and an independent investigation under international and local human rights oversight, with accountability for those responsible.
The party warned that continuing such practices will only heighten tensions and deepen Sudan’s political crisis, adding that the Sudanese people’s demand for freedom, justice, and peace “is stronger than all tools of oppression and intimidation.”
