The number of people sentenced to death for their alleged role in the rebel attacks on Khartoum last May could rise if the government carries through its plans to set up more special anti-terrorism courts, according to human rights lawyers. So far, 50 people have been condemned to death for laying siege to the nation’s capital on May 10. The attack was led by one of Darfur’s most prominent rebel groups, the Justice and Equity Movement (JEM).
