Human Rights Watch is accusing authorities in Sudan of committing abuses ahead of a general election scheduled for April.
The group’s Georgette Gagnon says in a new report that "violations of civil and political rights by Sudanese security forces throughout the country are seriously undermining prospects for free, fair, and credible elections…. The Khartoum government is still using its security forces to harass and abuse those who speak out against the ruling National Congress Party. That is no environment for holding free, fair, and transparent elections."
