ALERT: Brutal attack on WHRDs in Sudan and arrest of Wifag al-Gorshi<\/h1>\n

On 18 Feb 2019, Sudanese security forces brutally attacked Dr. Wafa al-Gorshi and WHRD Wifag \"\"al-Gorshi. Security forces called them names and used an electro-shock weapon on them.<\/p>\n

According to The\u00a0Central Committee\u00a0of\u00a0Sudanese Doctors\u00a0(CCSD), the WHRDs were taken to a detention center in which they were interrogated. DRr. Wafaa al-Gorshi was released. However, WHRD Wifag al-Gorshi remains in detention after issuing an arrest warrant against her.<\/p>\n

Woman human rights defender Wifag al-Gorshi is active in students\u2019 rights movement and several youth groups. She is known for her peaceful defense of human rights.<\/p>\n

Such a brutal attack against women human rights defenders further confirms the authorities\u2019 adherence to promoting systematic violence against women human rights defenders.<\/p>\n

Sudanese authorities must immediately and unconditionally release all women human rights defenders.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
