17/11/19: Radio Dabanga - Activists ‘degraded’ in Sudan police custody

 Radio Dabana reports that police detained 10 members of Resistance Committees in Mayo, El Salama, and El Azhari districts in the southern part of Khartoum. The activists were later released on bail after street protests in Mayo.

 The detention followed a complaint by the Islamic Dawa Organiation (OIC) that the activists allegedly assaulted and forcefully took over the headquarters of the organisation. The police opened charges against the activists under article 183 of the Sudanese Criminal Code.

 The Islamic Dawa Organisation is an international NGO that has strong ties to al-Bashir’s regime and the Muslim Brotherhood.
