The Sudan Victims of Torture Group (SVTG) has confirmed that after 19 more men were victims of cross amputation (right hand and left foot), the sentence for armed robbery, on Feb.1. «  It is believed that most of the men did not receive a fair trial; there was not enough evidence to convict  them and the usual judicial procedures were not followed properly. An appeal was rejected.
Five men from Darfur were already cross-amputated the week before.
