Khartoum, September 24(Darfur24) The Committee for Inquiry into the Disappearance of Persons CIDP affiliated with the Public Prosecution, rejected on Friday the decision of the Public Prosecutor in charge of burying unidentified bodies in morgues without conducting investigations.
A member of the committee, lawyer Nasr El-Din Youssef, said in an interview with Darfur 24 that they do not trust the committee in charge of burial because it included a group of forensic doctors accused previously of trying to hide the bodies of the martyrs who dispersed the sit-in of the General Command.
He continued: The Forensic Medicine Foundation deliberately concealed important information about the number of bodies in the mortuaries from the committee.
Nasr El-Din said, “The formation of the Sovereign Committee to carry out the same tasks aims to mislead public opinion and obscure the facts.
Nasr al-Din attributed the accumulation of corpses in the morgues of the capital, Khartoum, to the presence of very violent conflicts within the forensic medicine institution between all its components that prevented an agreed opinion, in addition to the deterioration of the environment inside the morgues.
He set specific conditions for the burial of unidentified bodies, most notably that it be implemented in accordance with the “Minnesota” protocol issued in 1991 regarding the burial of unidentified bodies, and under the supervision of trusted bodies, in addition to the use of foreign experts and the participation of the families of the martyrs and the missing.
Nasr El-Din said that the former Attorney General and parties that sought to obscure the truth, conceal information and the graves of martyrs obstructed the work of a team of foreign experts in autopsy and forensic medicine during the government of the resigned Prime Minister, Dr. Abdalla hamdok.
