ICC cites evidence of ‘war crimes' in Sudan's Darfur
Most of Darfur is held by the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), but the besieged city of El Fashir and a couple of surrounding towns are held by the military and its allies, the Joint Forces, a group of former rebels who have now allied with Sudan's government. Advertisement The areas held by the RSF have been indiscriminately bombed by the military, and non-Arab ethnic civilians there have been subjected to rape and ethnic cleansing by the RSF, the United Nations and other organizations have found. In El Fashir, RSF forces are preventing food from entering the city. An RSF attack on the sprawling Zamzam displacement camp nearby, previously home to 400,000 people, killed 11 aid workers. Advertisement One woman, speaking to The Washington Post, described the RSF attack on Zamzam in April and how she had sought shelter in the Sheikh Farah Mosque. 'Soldiers from the Rapid Support Forces stormed the mosque and started taking men from inside,' then shooting them, she said. Of 16 men and boys, 14 died immediately, including her brother, a blind man, and the son of the mosque sheikh. The soldiers shot her in the foot when she tried to help her brother. 'The soldiers went to the Relief International center,' she said. 'I heard them discussing things with the team. Minutes later, I heard gunfire, killing nine people, including a woman and doctor.' Two other aid workers died later of their injuries. In a report released this month on the attack, Doctors Without Borders said 'survivors of ground operations have reported systematic looting, the random or deliberate killing of civilians, and the burning of civilian buildings including private houses and markets. Sexual violence has been perpetrated on a large scale.' 'Abductions … have been a source of income for the RSF and their affiliates,' it added. That trend has been documented by The Post by speaking to families whose relatives — including children — were seized for forced labor, sexual slavery, or ransom. One woman who recently escaped from Zamzam to El Fashir, almost 10 miles away, said she had been stopped by RSF soldiers on the way. 'They called us 'town women,' meaning army women,' she said. She had been molested, and others had been taken away and raped. 'They were doing whatever they wanted to the women after killing the men.' Advertisement Most of the water towers and water pumps in El Fashir and Zamzam have been destroyed or don't work anymore, the report said, fueling disease outbreaks. Hospitals in the city have been repeatedly bombed and shelled, and all but one have stopped functioning. Doctors Without Borders warned that mass, ethnically based killings of civilians are likely if El Fashir falls. 'The RSF and their allies have deliberately targeted non-Arab communities,' the humanitarian group said. 'Witnesses report that RSF soldiers spoke of plans to 'clean El Fashir' of its non-Arab, and especially Zaghawa, community.' When the city of Geneina fell to the RSF in 2023, the UN reported, 10,000 to 15,000 people were killed in similar circumstances. Starvation is also spreading in Darfur. Since war erupted in April 2023, Sudan has become the scene of the world's largest humanitarian crisis. More than 30 million people need aid, but both warring parties frequently block access for humanitarian groups. Warehouses full of aid have been looted, and aid workers kidnapped and murdered. Last month, five drivers were killed as the World Food Program tried to deliver a convoy of food to El Fashir. The UN has called for an investigation. In its fight against the RSF, the military has relied on often indiscriminate aerial bombings that have frequently hit markets, homes, and infrastructure. Human Rights Watch found that bombings of the city of Nyala hit residential and commercial neighborhoods and a grocery store, killing dozens of civilians each time. A bombing of Turra village, about 25 miles northwest of El Fashir, killed at least 126 people in March, according to the Darfur Victims Support Organization, a local human rights group. Advertisement For decades, the military has used 'barrel bombs' —barrels filled with fuel, shrapnel, and explosives — to target civilian areas. The market at Turra was hit by 10 such bombs on its busiest day, the organization said. An Amnesty International investigation into the military's December bombing of Kabkabiya also found that dozens of people were killed.

Family of Bronx man fatally shot by NYPD may go to court over decision to spare his job
The family of a man killed by police during a Bronx traffic stop six years ago may go to court to compel Police Commissioner Jessica Tisch to terminate the NYPD lieutenant who fired the fatal shot, the Daily News has learned. Allan Feliz's family and several civil rights groups are considering taking legal action to force Tisch to fire Lt. Jonathan Rivera for the botched 2019 traffic stop. Commissioner Tisch last week decided not to fire Rivera, even though NYPD trial judge Deputy Commissioner Rosemarie Maldonado found Rivera guilty of first-degree assault and recommended he be dismissed. Instead, she sided with an attorney general report that determined Rivera's use of deadly force could not be proven to be unjustified 'beyond a reasonable doubt.' The trial judge's determination is only a recommendation, NYPD officials said. The police commissioner has the final say in all discipline matters and can impose stricter or more lenient sentencing if she wishes, officials said. In a letter exclusively shared with The News, advocates, which include LatinoJustice, the Justice Committee, and the Civilian Complaint Review Board, the decision to ignore Maldonado's findings was 'arbitrary and capricious' and 'constitutes an abuse of discretion as a matter of law.' 'Deputy Commissioner Maldonado looked Lieutenant Rivera in the eye, listened to his testimony, and determined that he was lying,' said Andrew Case, supervising counsel of LatinoJustice, who co-wrote the letter. 'The hearing officer is the best person to judge witnesses — this is a basic principle of law that the Commissioner should have learned in law school.' 'Tisch's decision violates that principle and therefore constitutes an abuse of her discretion to impose discipline,' Case said. Advocates plan to deliver the letter to Tisch on Friday, following a noon rally outside NYPD headquarters in lower Manhattan with the Feliz family. Rivera and two other officers pulled Feliz over in his Volkswagen near Woodlawn Cemetery for not wearing a seat belt, according to police. For some reason, Feliz handed them a driver's license that actually belonged to his brother, Sammy, who had three minor warrants — for spitting, littering and disorderly conduct — according to police. The officers reportedly asked him to step out of the car so they could pat him down, but Feliz hit the gas and tried to drive away while an officer was trying to pull him out of the car, officials said. Rivera fired his Taser at Feliz, then got into the car on the passenger's side and threatened to shoot Rivera as a physical struggle ensued, according to body camera footage, as another officer attempted to yank Feliz out of the vehicle. 'Yo! If I have to end up f—–g shooting you, bro!' Lt. Rivera is heard screaming as Feliz wails in pain from repeated Taser shocks. 'Yo, bro! I'm going to f—–g shoot you.' Moments later, as the car lurched forward, Rivera shot Feliz in the chest. Feliz later died at Montefiore Medical Center. Rivera has always argued he believed Feliz was about to run over one of the other officers when he fired. Yul-san Liem, the deputy director of the Justice Committee said the decision to spare Rivera is preliminary. The CCRB has sent in their response to Tisch's decision and she will have another opportunity to review the response and determine if she wants to keep her findings or change them.

Retired police sergeant gets 6 months in prison for Taser attack on man in mental health crisis
WHITE PLAINS, N.Y. — A retired police sergeant in a New York suburb has been sentenced to six months in prison and six months of home confinement for repeatedly firing a Taser gun at a man suffering a health crisis. U.S. District Judge Kenneth M. Karas told the retired Mount Vernon police sergeant, Mario Stewart, that it was necessary 'to send a clear message' to law enforcement that although policing is a 'really hard,' there are rules and 'where the line is clear, you cannot cross it.'
