Girifna, which translates as "we're fed up", is a Sudanese youth group calling for non-violent resistance to the government in Sudan. The movement, composed mainly of university students, was set up in October 2009. Since then, its members have been targeted by the authorities, including by being arbitrarily arrested, detained, tortured and sexually assaulted. They have also had laptops and other items confiscated from their homes, and several have been forced to flee from Sudan.
