A human rights group has strongly condemned Sudan's special "anti-terror" courts after eight alleged Darfur rebels were sentenced to death.
Hundreds of people remain unaccounted for after a rebel attack near the capital, says Amnesty International.
The government is also preparing to try 109 people in "sham" courts for the attack in May, the group said.
Among those sentenced to death was senior Justice and Equality Movement (JEM) official, Abd-al-Aziz Nur Ushar.

The raid on Omdurman, the twin city of the capital, Khartoum, represented the first time rebels had got so close to the capital in five years of conflict.
More than 220 people were reported to have been killed in May's attack, which was followed by a security crackdown and mass arrests.
Sudan has sentenced a total of 38 people to death for the attack.
