The movement condemned the government and its acts against innocent civilians, referring to the killing of two children and the wounding of three others by a landmine planted by government forces in Hijeir Baku village in Heiban in South Kordofan and the killing of eight children in a bomb explosion at El Fateh in western Omdurman.

The family of detainee Adam Mousa Ishag expressed concern about his health after about 75 days of his detention by the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) in Omdurman and demanded his release or a fair trial.

The brother of the detainee said in a statement this week: “My brother is a former president of the Association of the Darfuri Students at Omdurman Islamic University and a political activist who was held by NISS agents on January 9”.

He added that his family was allowed to visit him only once on February 25, where the family saw his health deterioration. He said he was suffering from gastric disease and sore throat.

The detainee’s brother explained that they had made several requests for his visit, all of which were rejected by the security apparatus, the last of which was on Tuesday, where the NISS refused to allow them a visit, as well as the refusal to deliver medicines and the items brought by the family.
