A Message is sent to Khartoum Contemporary Art Center (Karin Erixon) since they have not taken any action about the case although they keep supporting the sexual violence victims nominally.
: "Hello. We clearly see that you don't have any will to take action on the perpetrator Åsmund Skuterud's case. At the moment your organization knew about the accusation, the internal investigation should have conducted and also there had to be a protocol to handle this sexual violence. Additionally, you have not warned that the Mr. Skuterud is with sexual allegations to the participants of Jazz in Khartoum. We see your organization have a big part of responsibility in aspect of this case. Hence, we will include the criticism of your organization in our further public action. Regards."
