Abdel Wahid Mohamed Ahmed Nour, Nafir El Din Tampour, Ahmed Ibrahim and 63 others were arrested between July and August in Zalingei, Tour and Nyartati in Western Darfur province, and Golou in Jebel Mara province. Abdel Wahid Mohamed Ahmed Nour, Nafir El Din Tampour and 40 others are being held without charge in Nyala prison, Darfur. A number of the detainees have reportedly been tortured by the security forces. The whereabouts of Ahmed Ibrahim and the remaining 23 is unknown. Amnesty International therefore fears that they may have "disappeared".
