This evidence-led archive documents four adjudicated Sudan cases and four unresolved or contested killings. The newest file records the September 2013 protest crackdown while preserving disputed casualty totals, security-force attribution and the absence of lasting individual accountability. Each file separates court findings, documented institutional responsibility and allegations that have not reached a final criminal judgment.
