I would like assurance that they are not being tortured or treated inhumanely. Are they truly being held in Kober prison in Khartoum?

I ask they be allowed to see their families immediately and regularly, I ask they be legally represented, and I ask that their medical needs be met.

I appeal for them to be released immediately and unconditionally if they are not to be charged and tried for a recognizably criminal offense.

Thank you and I would appreciate a response.

Sincerely,

James Donahue
