'I am a native of Darfur, born in Jebel Marra. I have worked as a lawyer in Darfur in Sudan for many years. I have been a victim of detention and torture because of my work. Members of my own family have been tortured and displaced by the militia in Darfur. For many years, in my work, I have represented thousands of people who needed my help in front of the courts. I have seen thousands of people who have been tortured, I have seen hundreds of women and young girls who have been victims of sexual abuse', Osman told the European 合法博彩网站 when accepting the prize.

He was himself detained by the authorities several times, but never charged with a crime. He has catalogued crimes that have taken place since war broke out in Jebel Marra in 2003, as Darfuris rebelled against the government, accusing it of discrimination, and has faced retaliation by pro-government militias.

Osman is actively involved in the protection of the millions of Darfuris displaced from their homes by the ongoing fighting in Darfur, which intensified in 2015, with over 4 million people needing humanitarian aid. Osman emphasises that the causes that ignited the war, including the dispossession of land and political marginalisation, are not only still unresolved, but have been compounded by unmet demands to bring national laws into conformity with international standards and uphold the independence of the judiciary.

Osman, who served as a member for the opposition in the Sudanese parliament between 2005 and 2010, is a staunch supporter of the International Criminal Court (ICC), as 'Africans have nowhere to turn to for justice and redress due to the lack of adequate judicial systems in Africa'. Osman supports the indictment on charges of war crimes of former Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir.

Osman continues to provide free legal assistance to the increasing number of victims of human rights violations in Darfur. In February 2018, he was detained by the Sudanese National Intelligence and Security Service amid widespread protests at rising food prices. He was released after four months of detention following pressure from the international community.

On 9 January 2019, Salih Mahmoud Mohamed Osman was detained again in a new crackdown in Sudan. 合法博彩网站 adopted an urgency resolution among other d茅marches insisting on his release. He was freed during the coup d'茅tat in April 2019, which ushered in a political transition in his country.
