Sudan: Launch of Arab Campaign for the Release of Political Detainees in Sudan

2 September 2014

Cairo — The Arab Coalition for Sudan (ACS) and the Arab Network for Media Crises (ANMC) have launched a "90-days campaign" for the release of all political detainees, and the cancellation of charges against those convicted of political actions in Sudan. The organisations plan to collect signatures for this goal under the slogan "Freedom is a Right, not a Gift".

They call on "all Sudanese citizens at home and abroad, all human rights activists, and regional and international organisations" to organise solidarity protests for the release of the political detainees, and join the campaign, scheduled to run from the beginning of September until the end of November.
