<p><strong> Letter Sign off- Save Sudanese female citizen,
Noura Hussein Hammad</strong></p>
<p><font color="#ff0000">Your Excellency, Dear Mr Zeid Ra’ad
Al Hussein:</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">We are addressing this letter to you
as a matter of critical urgency in the hope of averting a
gross violation of Human Rights, under International Human
Rights Law, and a humanitarian tragedy.</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">It concerns the case of a 19 y.o.
Sudanese female citizen, Noura Hussein Hammad - who is a
victim of Child Marriage, Forced Marriage, Rape/Marital
Rape, Honour Based Violence, Gender Based Violence and
Violence against Women & Children and who is facing a
death sentence to be issued by the Sudanese authorities on
10 May 2018 (below you can find a detailed description of
Noura’s case)</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">As a group of NGOs, civil society and
human rights advocates, we alarmed by the gross violation
of human rights about to happen in Sudan. The possible
execution of Noura Hussein, undoubtedly, herself a victim
of grave abuse and gender based violence, is contrary to
the political commitment towards the elimination of human
rights abuses in the region established in the African
Region, including the very recent dialogue on this subject
between the African Union and the OHCHR in April 2018.</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">It is our strong belief that the
elimination of human rights violations needs to be
substantiated with concrete actions and, in the context of
Sudan, the execution of a young female victim of gender
based violence is an unacceptable breach of the
commitments you achieved, a regress in the eyes of
international law and an irreparable damage for Sudan’s
and perhaps more broadly Africa’s international
reputation.</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">As a group of NGOs and individuals
concerned with human rights and women’s rights in
particular, we appeal to your authority to urgently take
necessary actions to protect Noura’s life. We do so with
the clear understanding that if the highest authority of
Sudan and international humanitarian actors do not
immediately and directly intervene in this case,<img

class="gmail-autobr">
Noura will be executed, as per Sharia law in Sudan. On the
contrary, with the direct support of OHCHR and
international stakeholder, not only the life of an
innocent person will be saved, but also the reputation of
Sudan and the commitment of the African Union to human
rights will avoid further scandal in the International
community.</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">Following the expected sentencing of
the Sudanese courts on Thursday 10 may 2018, we will be
taking this case to the international and European media
and authorities, to expose the atrocity committed by the
state of Sudan against a powerless individual, first
violated as a female child and then executed as an adult
female for the very abuse she in fact suffered.</font></p>
<font color="#ff0000">
</font>
<p><font color="#ff0000">We seek your full and unconditional
support to prevent this pending human rights violation and
save this young girl’s life.</font></p>
<p>°°°</p>
<p><strong>Noura Hussein Hammad’s Case:</strong></p>
<p>When Noura was 15 y.o. she was forced to marry a man.
First, the written arrangement between the families was
done, and, as Noura turned 17 y.o. the formal marriage was
set.</p>
<p>From the onset of inter-family arrangements, Noura
unequivocally rejected the marriage.</p>
<p>She made it clear to both families, including the proposed
groom, that she did NOT wish to marry him and had no plans
to marry at all, as her main goal was pursuing her
education. As the families persisted, to avoid the forced
marriage, Noura fled to another city. However, two years
later she was deceived to return by her own father on the
promise that the marriage was cancelled.</p>
<p>In May 2017 after Noura was forced to take part in her own
wedding ceremony and after she was sent on a “honeymoon”
with her "husband”, she refused to have sex with him for 5
days.</p>
<p>On the 6th day the “husband" called his brother &
cousins who held Noura’s arms and legs, while he raped her.</p>
<p>On the 7th day, as he tried to rape her again, in defence
of her physical self and her dignity, Noura killed him with
the knife.</p>
<p>After that she immediately reported herself to her family.
Noura’s father brought her to the police and left her there,
declaring his daughter as the “shame for the family”. Since
then</p>
<p>Noura has been in prison.</p>
<p>On 29 April 2018 Noura was found guilty of pre-meditated
murder. Under Islamic law of Sudan, Article 113, a person
guilty of murder is either executed (Qasaas) or has to pay a
fine (Deeya). Noura’s forced marriage, ‘marital’ rape, or
other forms of gender-based violence against her, cannot be
used as evidence to alleviate the sentence.</p>
<p>On 10 May 2018 the family of her "husband" will be heard in
court. They demand Noura’s immediate death (and made it
clear they won’t accept a fine, even though some
organisations stepped up to pay).</p>
<p>Following this, the final verdict will be announced and the
defence will have 15 days to appeal.</p>
<p>Noura, who is a victim of child marriage, forced marriage,
rape/marital rape, honour based violence and violence
against women, has no social support because her family
abandoned her. She became family’s “shame”. Her legal
defense was provided by formal legal aid.</p>
<p>A group of Sudanese and international activists have
mobilised to work around the clock to save Noura’s life.
They are running a FB Support Page and launched Avaaz
Petition . They mediate with lawyers, visit Noura in prison
and translate letters of support.</p>
<p>Noura’s case is significant for many reasons: Not only
because she is one of the many women in a similar situation
- subjected to patriarchal male violence, blamed and
abandoned by community, at the mercy of religious laws,
without recourse to justice. She is also one the many women
who refused to submit to this violence and stood up to
defend herself.</p>

<p><b><span class="gmail-ressource">EN FRANCAIS, bref résumé</span></b></p>
<p><b><span class="gmail-ressource">Noura s'est opposée à son
mariage forcé pendant plusieurs années - de 15 à 19 ans,
mais elle a finalement été mariée sans son consentement;
elle s'est enfuie de chez elle et y a été ramenée contre
promesse de ne pas la marier. Promesse rompue. <br>
</span></b></p>
<p><b><span class="gmail-ressource">Devant l'impossibilté de
la voir consentir aux relations sexuelles, le mari l'a
fait immobiliser par des membres <b><span
class="gmail-ressource">mâles</span></b> de sa
famille et l' a violée en leur présence; le lendemain
quand il a voulu la violer encore, elle l'a tué avec un
couteau. Sa famille l'a abandonnée aux mains de la
justice; elle encourt la <u><i>peine de mort.</i></u> <u>Verdict
demain. Appel possible sous 15 jours.</u></span></b></p>
<p><b><span class="gmail-ressource">L'accusée est victime de
viol, de viol en réunion, de viol conjugal, d'abus
d'autorité, de mariage forcé, de mariage de mineur, et
de diverses autres violations de ses droits humains
fondamentaux.<br>
