Human Rights Watch said the 136 men, all members of the Fur ethnic group aged between 20 and 60, were rounded up on March 5 in two sweeps in Darfur's Garsila and Mugjir areas.
They were then taken in army trucks to nearby valleys where they were made to kneel before being killed with a bullet in the back of the neck, Human Rights Watch said.

The United Nations estimates that close to 1 million people have been affected by the conflict, with some 750,000 forced out of their homes and tens of thousands having fled to Chad.

People from the Garsila area said they woke up on March 5 to find an area encompassing 32 villages surrounded by government troops and janjaweed. The fighters then entered the villages and began questioning the men.
That same night, according to local people, 72 men were loaded into army trucks and driven to a valley where all but one were executed. The survivor, who had been left for dead, returned to report the massacre, Human Rights Watch said.
Another 65 men were reported to have been executed in a similar operation in the Mugjir area, east of Garsila. Details were not available because there were no survivors, Human Rights Watch said.
