Sudan: Security 'Kidnaps, Tortures' Students in Omdurman and West Darfur

Omdurman/Sileia — Security forces abducted two students of the Darfur Students Association from inside the Omdurman Islamic University on Monday, and tortured them for three continuous hours. A Darfuri student was arrested on Wednesday in West Darfur, and taken to an unknown location.

One of the kidnapped Darfuri in Omdurman, Amin Abdel Rahim Abdulah, is the secretary of the Students Association's financial affairs at the Faculty of Education. He told Radio Dabanga that about 12 elements of the security forces had kidnapped his colleague Adam Mohamed Adam, Secretary General of the association, and him while they were in the El Shigla campus of the El Fetehab District. The two were on their way to deliver a memorandum on the exemption of student fees for Darfuri students, to the office of the Chancellor of the University.
