Sudan In a communication dated 20 October 1994, the Special Rapporteur sent the following observations to the Government of the Sudan: "According to the information received by the Special Rapporteur, the right to freedom of religion continues to be seriously violated. It is reported that, in the north of the country, various forms of religious intolerance are practised against the orthodox Copt minority (150,000 to 200,000 persons), including the closure of churches, mass dismissals from official posts and judicial institutions, discrimination in access to nationality and education, the army and the media and compulsory Islamic dress of Copt women. In the south of the country, the Government is said to be pursuing a repressive policy against Christians through such actions as killings, torture, prohibition against churches and Christian institutions owning land, expulsion of Christian missionaries, arbitrary distribution of foodstuffs and enforced conversion to Islam in exchange for food, imposition of Islamic law and compulsory requirement for women to dress in conformity with Islamic morality. It is reported that, on 26 December 1993, the Government air force bombarded Chu Kudum, targeting the Catholic Church. In the Nuba Mountains, inhabited mainly by Christians, it is stated that, in addition to the enforced displacement of tens of thousands of civilians whose villages are said to have been deliberately destroyed by Government forces, the Christian elite has been systematically eliminated. Two Christians from the village of Nafia, Mr. Yohana Ahmad Yoused and Mr. Abdulgarder Elgewser, described as having converted to Catholicism in 1970, have reportedly been detained and tortured. Threatened with execution if they did not renounce Christianity, they are reported to have been forced to recite the "Shahada", thereby
