Following the 3 June 2019 Khartoum massacre that occurred during the 2018–19 Sudanese protests, the Darfur Bar Association created a Truth and Fact-finding Committee to investigate the massacre, primarily the incidents of rape.[5] On 30 July, the DBA committee stated that eight rape victims were receiving psychological therapy; one in Omdurman had committed suicide as a result of the rape; one rape victim had been forced by social stigma to search for another home for her and her family. The DBA claimed that it had "ample evidence" of responsibility of the Transitional Military Council (TMC), the junta ruling Sudan at the time, for the massacre and that the "decision to disband the sit-in" took place at a meeting including all TMC members, the Attorney-General, police chiefs and security directors.[5] The DBA committee argued that the Attorney-General enquiry was neither professional, independent nor impartial.[5]
