Teachers summoned daily by Sudan’s security apparatus
The National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) still summons 13 teachers daily to its headquarters in Khartoum North, because they reportedly urged people to demonstrate in January. Security agents summoned the head of the Khartoum Teachers Committee last week because of the general strike of the secondary teachers in the state.
The NISS accuses the primary and secondary school teachers of inciting public unrest because the called on people to join the anti-price hikes demonstration organised by opposition parties in Omdurman on January 17.
Therefore, the teachers have to report each morning at the NISS offices near the Shendi busstation in Khartoum Bahri, one of their colleagues told Radio Dabanga.
