Update #1 February 15, 2014
The woman has been charged with 2 more counts in her criminal trial, which is now underway. The new charges are immensely serious, and include prostitution and adultery, punishable by death. Further, if her trial concludes the evidence used in this case will be inadmissible for a rape case because in Sudanese law the evidence and facts used in once a case concludes cannot be used again in a new trial. Send this notice to the Sudanese government that the world is watching.About this Petition
In
August, near Khartoum, Sudan, a pregnant 18 year old Ethiopian
immigrant in search of housing was lured into an empty flat by seven
men. She was held against her will and subjected to a vicious gang-rape.
They recorded the assault, and upon letting her go, threatened her with
death if she ever came forward.
The
video of the assault went viral on Whatsapp and in January she was
arrested, now in her third trimester, and thrown in prison for indecent
behavior and engaging in pornographic material. She petitioned the
Attorney General of Sudan to have her rape case heard, but he denied it.
She has petitioned for her bail, on account of her health, but the
Attorney General denied that too, twice.
Now
nine months pregnant she sleeps in a bare concrete cell without a
mattress awaiting her trial, and denied the justice of holding her
attackers accountable for their crimes against her.
Please send this message to the Attorney General that the world is watching.
We demand this woman be bailed out and treated to psychosocial care and medical care immediately.
