Sudanese police suspend Jebel Awlia athletes’ case
The case of five members of the Sudanese athletics team detained by the Jebel Awlia Public Order police in southern Khartoum on Saturday for wearing “indecent dress” has not been referred to the prosecutor yet.

Five of the team members were charged under article 152 of the Sudanese Criminal Code regarding “obscene and indecent acts”, while five others were released after showing their military identity cards.
