- The Secretary of State considers that there are reasonable grounds to suspect that Hussein Barsham is an involved person under the Sudan (Sanctions) (EU Exit) Regulations 2020 because he, as a Commander in the RSF, is or has been responsible for promoting the commission of serious violations of international humanitarian law in Sudan, and engaging in grave breaches such as targeted executions.
