21 . The Complainant submit that the Victim was arrested on many occasions between the years of 1991 and 2006. 22. The Complainant argues that the Victim fled Sudan in a bid to seek medical care in Germany and later resettled in Uganda. He was however, arrested in 2018 in Uganda and transferred to El Fashir airport by a number of NISS agents. At the airport, he was verbally abused. He was later accompanied by two armed and uniformed NISS officers on the flight to Khartoum. 23. The Complainant aver that on arrival at Khartoum airport, the Victim saw a tinted vehicle parked outside. He was then blindfolded and put in the vehicle. They travelled for about one hour until he was removed from the car and taken into a building. When the blindfold was removed, he found himself in an empty room with no windows or ventilation. He was kept in that room for 10 days and permitted to go to the toilet rarely. 24. The Complainant state that the Victim was detained by the NISS in Khartoum without access to his family or lawyers until his release two months later. Whilst detained in Khartoum he was interrogated regularly and subjected to a range of acts causing mental and physical harm. the Victim was subjected to electric shocks and hit on his head and feet with iron rods. His head was shaved and a chemical solution was applied to his head, causing a large circular bald spot. During one incident.the Victim was taken to a dark room that had puddles of blood on the floor and a bad stench. At that point he was told that he had 72 hours to admit to their accusations or he would be thrown into a hole in that room and left there. According to the Complainant, the Victim felt very unwell for the entire period he was detained but was denied access to a doctor. 25. The Complainant aver that prior to his release, the Victim was forced to sign, with his finger-prints a document that he was not permitted to read and did not know the content of that document. He was released shortly after and ordered to stop advocating on the issue of human rights or any issues related to IDPs and refugees; refrain from giving any information or meeting any organisation about his arrest or his experience in detention; and was informed that he would not be permitted to travel outside. 26. The Complainant states that after his release , the Victim fled Sudan fearing for his safety. He was deeply traumatised owing to the physical and mental pain and suffering he had been subjected to. After his release, he experienced temporary memory losses.; he was in severe pain from the beatings and other torture methods; and also had a terrible back pain and skin condition. He was very afraid for the safety of his family members. Articles alleged to have been violated: 27.
