SUDAN Mohamed Al Mahjoub (m), aged 57

Mohamed Al Mahjoub was released without charge on 17 April. He had spent six days detained incommunicado by the National Security and Intelligence Services (NISS) in El Fasher, North Darfur. He is in good health, and has said that he was not tortured. He is not allowed to leave El Fasher.

He appears to have beendetained solely because of his peaceful professional activities as Director of the Amal centre for the treatment and rehabilitation of victims of torture, in El Fasher.

No further action is requested from the UA network. Many thanks to all who sent appeals.
