Sudanese army forces raped more than 200 women and girls over 36 hours in an organized attack on the north Darfur town of Tabit last October, a new Human Rights Watch report shows.

The deliberate attack on Tabit and the mass rape of the town’s women and girls is a new low in the catalog of atrocities in Darfur. The Sudanese government should stop the denials, and the United Nations and African Union should take urgent steps to protect civilians in the town from further abuses.
