Phil Cox, a British national, and Daoud Hari, a Darfuri translator and author, had been commissioned by the UK’s Channel4 TV to investigate reports by Amnesty International that Sudanese security forces had used Chemical Weapons against civilians in Jebel Marra between January and August 2016. For nearly two months, the two journalists were locked up in a prison and Tortured, simply for doing their job. They were beaten, subjected to Electric Shocks, deliberately deprived of Oxygen and subjected to mock Executions.
