<p>The job was simple: drive his truck from war-torn Khartoum to Al-Jazira state south of Sudan's capital. Othman Hassan was grateful for the work, until he came to a paramilitary checkpoint.</p>

<p>"They confiscated my truck and took me to a house in Kafouri" in Khartoum North, the 54-year-old told AFP.</p>

<p>In the courtyard, he found "several other prisoners and paramilitary soldiers from the Rapid Support Forces, who forced us to the ground and whipped us, accusing us of spying for the army" which has been battling the RSF since April 15.</p>

<p>They were whipped until one man, whom Hassan judged to be the commander, ordered them to stop. And then the "interrogation" began.</p>

<p>For three days in that house, and then for two weeks at the local power station, Hassan and six others were left on the ground, routinely beaten and deprived of food and water.</p>

<p>They are not alone in suffering such treatment.</p>

<p>In the chaos of a war that has killed thousands and displaced millions, egregious abuses have taken place in detention centres run by both sides.</p>

<h2><strong>Dozens of detention centres</strong></h2>

<p>Of the dozens scattered across the war-ravaged capital, 44 belong to the RSF and eight to the army, according to a report by a committee of pro-democracy lawyers that has sought to document violations in the war.</p>

<p>Over two months, they collected 64 testimonies, and found that both camps had committed "war crimes" and "crimes against humanity", including "murder, kidnapping, unlawful detention, forced disappearance, torture, and rape".</p>

<p>Hassan can attest to that. After two weeks, he was dumped by the side of the road, but never found out why he had been released.</p>

<p>Mohamed Salaheldin, by contrast, knows what it took to secure his freedom: his family paid a $1,700 ransom to the RSF.</p>

<p>He had ventured onto Khartoum's dangerous streets to get medicine for his elderly mother, when RSF fighters asked him for ID that he did not have.</p>

<p>"They threatened to kill me," said the 35-year-old, who was accused of being "an army spy" and "an Islamist" from the regime of former dictator Omar al-Bashir.</p>

<p>The RSF has repeatedly accused the army of starting the war to usher Bashir's regime back to power, although it has never been possible to verify who opened fire first.</p>

<p>"I sat on the ground all day, until I was moved to the sports city" in southern Khartoum, Salaheldin told AFP. He remained there for a month.</p>

<p>The lawyers report that indignities suffered by detainees include severe overcrowding, no access to toilets and the withholding of water in the stifling heat.</p>
