Sudanese Beja Solidarity Demonstration 24/02/2012
A group of people from the Sudanese diaspora in Manchester gathered on Friday (24/02/2012) in front of the BBC buildings, to protest against severe human rights violations by the dictatorship in Sudan. These violations include: arrests, censorship and the systematic torture, murder, starvation and genocide of the people of Port Sudan, the Nuba mountains and Blue Nile regions.
They demanded the downfall of the current regime led by Dictator El Bashir and called
for him to be tried by the international criminal court (ICC.) The demonstrators chanted slogans and sang revolutionary songs in English and Arabic.
Mohammed Al Halengy, secretary of the Sudanese Beja Solidarity group, said ‘we will continue to draw attention to the corrupt system in Sudan and I would urge all the Sudanese people to unite against the opposition, and work together to
construct a Sudan that is more just and democratic’.

Sudanese Beja Solidarity Campaign: Keep Mohammed Safe in the UK
Mohammed Al Halengy is from Eastern Sudan. He came to the UK in 2006 to flee persecution as he is a member of the Beja tribe, a marginalised ethnic group in East Sudan. This group has struggled for a federal system, equal wealth and power share, development and an end to marginalization. However, the catastrophic situation in Eastern Sudan receives little awareness from the international community.
The Port Sudan massacre in 2005 during which 22 Beja citizens were shot dead, and more than 400 injured, including women and children, is one example of these atrocities. This was a gross violation of human rights and particularly highlighted the plight of the Beja community in Eastern Sudan.
· Mohammed Al Halengy was repeatedly arrested and detained in Sudan because of his standing as a leader in the Beja community.
· He was also severely beaten and tortured whilst held in detention and was burnt with a hot metal object on his back and legs.
· Mohammed Al Halengy has been examined by medical professional and has been diagnosed with Post Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD)
· He is also suffering from severe mental health problems including anxiety flashbacks and nightmares.
· Mohammed Al Halengy had to leave his wife behind in East Sudan and is very concerned for her safety.
