Mossad Mohamed Ali - Darfur

Mossad Mohamed Ali, a lawyer and human rights defender based in South Darfur, works for an organization  that provides legal aid and medical and psycho-social assistance to victims of torture and sexual violence and those at risk of the death penalty and amputations.

In this short interview (two minutes), he tells Global X the story of a 16-year-old girl who was traveling by bus in the Sudan when she was taken by armed militia to a remote place, beaten up, and raped.

The accused were acquitted, because the law, based on the sharia, requires four independent, neutral witnesses for this type of crime. "She is now married to a relative," concludes Mossad Mohamed Ali.

Global X found out later that the relative was actually a much older uncle.
