Ed, Things like this are why the GOS would never let AI monitor their activities:

Sudan sequesters arrested priests
News Bulletin -- 9/11/98
Two Sudanese Catholic priests being kept under arrest in unknown locations in Khartoum since August 1 have been subjected to physical torture during the past six weeks, local church sources told Compass Direct. 
 
According to Abel Alier, attorney for the Catholic Church in Khartoum, neither of the detained priests has been permitted by Sudanese authorities to see a lawyer. 
 
Parish priest Fr. Lino Sebit, in his early 30s, has reportedly been refused any visitors by military intelligence police.

Also on May 4,1998 GOS soldiers entered a village in central Sudan and locked up a church where 100 people were holding a service, locked the church doors- and burnt the church to the ground with the Africans in it. Only one person escaped with his life. These are typical GOS tactics of torture ,nmurder and abduction of African children either for sale into slavery or the young girls as concubines to the Arab Muslims.

But you raise a good point on AI. Let me see if I can forward it to the SPLA leadership. As you have probably noticed for whatever reason the SPLA does not issue news releases or generally invite in reporters.

Perhaps this accounts for why a few dozen people die in Kosovo and the US threatens intervention, while in the Sudan 1,500,000 people have died, and yet the World seems unaware. How strange is the World....

Sincerely,

Doug F.
