The legislature makes the following additional findings that: (1) Significant pressure from the United States government has not convinced the Sudanese government to disassociate itself from certain repressive and terrorist factions; (2) The Sudanese government places severe limitations on the political and religious freedoms of the Sudanese people despite promises and pledges to end the twenty year civil war between the government and the Sudan People's Liberation Movement/Army; (3) The Sudanese government violates the rules of war by deliberately attacking civilians and, since 1983, the war and famine-related effects have led to more than two million deaths and over four million refugees; (4) The government of Sudan continues to engage in arbitrary arrest, prolonged detention, extra-judicial killings, torture and rape of the Sudanese people and apostasy from Islam is punishable by death; EXPLANATION--Matter in ITALICS (underscored) is new; matter in brackets [ ] is old law to be omitted.
