The Committee for Justice (CFJ) has expressed deep concern over preliminary information indicating the possible occurrence of a mass extrajudicial killing targeting dozens of detainees at the 1st Infantry Division detention facility in the city of Wad Madani, Al‑Jazirah State, amid allegations suggesting the possible involvement of regular forces in the reported incidents.
According to information documented by CFJ, the available accounts are based on testimonies, statements, and preliminary evidence that remain subject to ongoing verification and documentation processes. The information points to serious indications of possible extrajudicial killings of a number of detainees, against the backdrop of continuing reports of arbitrary detention and enforced disappearance in Wad Madani since the outbreak of the conflict.
The Committee emphasized that verification efforts are still underway and that not all circulating information has been conclusively confirmed. CFJ stressed the importance of addressing such allegations through independent, professional, and evidence‑based investigations.
The Committee for Justice calls for an urgent, independent, and transparent investigation into these allegations, the disclosure of the fate of all detainees and forcibly disappeared persons in Al‑Jazirah State, and the preservation of all relevant evidence. CFJ further urges that national and international independent mechanisms be granted access to places of detention and the alleged incident site, in order to establish the facts and ensure accountability should the reported violations be substantiated.
