Cairo, 26th
of October 2008
Mr. Nasser Amin, Director of the Arab Center for the
Independence of the judiciary and the legal profession (ACIJLP),
received on Saturday, 25 October 2008, a strong threat from a
Sudanese group in Cairo calling its self (Middle East Mujahedeen
in Cairo) through the Center’s e-mail.
The email included a threat to Mr. Amin’s life and his right to
physical integrity, and it included also a threat to the
researcher “Hammad Wadi Sannd”, who works at the Center
and who have the Sudanese nationality.
Further more,
the threatening e-mail claimed Mr. Amin to stop playing his role
- and the Center’s role - towards Darfur crisis in addition to
the role of the International Criminal Court on this crisis.
The Center fears that the Sudanese government might have a prior
knowledge of these threats and their content, or at least that
these threats didn’t have any reluctance from the Sudanese
officials in security organs.
The Center sees that the motive behind this threat is to
obstruct the role of the Center that supports the International
Criminal Court on strengthening international criminal justice
and the role of the court toward Darfur crisis.
While the Center Expresses its resentment and condemnation of
such threats, it calls upon the Egyptian government to guarantee
Mr. Nasser Amin’s right to life and physical integrity. The
Center also puts the full responsibility on the Sudanese
government and the Sudanese embassy in Cairo for any actions
that might caused by Sudanese resident in Cairo.
