28/10/19: Radio Dabanga - Followers of former Janjaweed leader demand his release

Radio Dabanga reports that relatives of the Revolutionary Awakening Council, which consists of former Janjaweed members who then rebelled against Omar al-Bashir’s government, held a protest vigil in front of the Attorney General's office in Khartoum, demanding the release of all detainees including their leader Musa Hilal.

 Hilal and ‘some of his associates’ were arrested in 2017 for not complying with an order of the Al Bashir regime to disarm. His lawyers argue that resisting the Al Bashir regime cannot constitute a crime.
