Geneva / Cairo / Ottawa — The office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights (OHCHR) has called on the Sudanese government to cooperate with the rapid deployment of a UN human rights monitoring team to examine human right violations committed during and after the Khartoum sit-in massacre on Monday. The WHO and the Canadian government have also voiced grave concern.
A statement on Friday by Rupert Colville, spokesperson for the OHCHR says: "We continue to be gravely concerned about the situation in Sudan and have proposed the rapid deployment of a UN human rights monitoring team to examine allegations of human rights violations committed since June 3 2019. We are seeking the cooperation of the government of Sudan to be able to deploy such a mission - which would seek to engage with relevant Sudanese authorities, civil society organisations and others - at the earliest opportunity.
