North Darfur governor says one inmate was killed in El-Fasher prison riots
December 11, 2011 (KHARTOUM) — North Darfur authorities admitted the death of an inmate during a riot at the state prison of Shalla that houses rebels sentenced to death recently by a special court.
Sudanese police and different security organs were summoned to help guards restore order at Shella Prison on 7 December when prisoners attempted to prevent the execution of some rebels sentenced to death.
The state governor Osman Kibir said the rioters who are members of rebel groups broke the doors of some cells and destroyed facilities inside the prisons. He further stressed the guards had to intervene to protect the other inmates.
He said only 50 of 646 inmates were involved in the riot, stressing the troubles were caused by the death penalty against the rebels. He further said the guards killed one rebel prisoner sentenced to death when they broke up the riot.
Kibir minimized the impact of the incident stressing it would not affect a visit the First Vice-President Ali Osman Taha who is expected to start on Monday.
However, Gibreel Adam Bilal, official spokesperson of the rebel Justice and Equality Movement (JEM), denounced Taha’s visit to the region and called to boycott it.
Some of the sentenced rebels in Shalla Prison are members of the rebel group.

They are fit to countries just like Togo in west Africa. Those people should claim to the world that they are being oppressed and need their autonomous governments.
