Darfur Bar Association

The Darfur Bar Association (DBA, Arabic: هيئة محامي دارفور, romanized: Hayʼat Muḥāmī Dārfūr) is a Sudanese lawyers' organisation created in 1995.

[2] In 2020, the group received the Democracy Award for supporting marginalized people in advocating for their rights and providing legal assistance to vulnerable activists before and during protests in Sudan.

[2] In August 2018, during the 30-year rule of Omar al-Bashir, the Darfur Bar Association stated the security services deliberately prosecuted students and held them under detention for long periods of time in order to discourage them from human rights related activities.

The five students were again found not guilty on 18 August 2013 by a Central Khartoum criminal court judge, Osama Ahmed Abdalla.

The DBA claimed that it had "ample evidence" of responsibility of the Transitional Military Council (TMC), the junta ruling Sudan at the time, for the massacre and that the "decision to disband the sit-in" took place at a meeting including all TMC members, the Attorney-General, police chiefs and security directors.
