notes: Around 31 January 2019, a 36 year-old teacher from Khashm Al Girba was taken (along with three others) to a NISS detention centre in Kassala (Madeinat Kassala, Kassala). He died in detention a few days later. Relatives of the victim said the teacher showed signs of severe beating and torture. On 30 December, 29 members of the former intelligence agency, NISS, were sentenced to death by a court in Omdurman, who found them guilty of torturing a teacher to death in Kassala in January. Four officers were sentenced to three years in prison, and seven were acquitted.
