June 8, 2011 (KHARTOUM) — The National Intelligence and Security
Services (NISS) released the last of the activists detained for taking
part in January demonstrations against the regime, Amnesty
International said on Wednesday.
Adil Ibrahim Karar, 56, was one of over 70 people who were detained in
connection with peaceful protests that had begun the previous day in
the streets of the Sudanese capital. He was detained on 31 January at
a bookshop in Omdurman .
Adil was released on 29 May after spending four months in solitary
confinement which affected his poor health .
Speaking to Sudan Tribune in Khartoum, the civil engineer who had been
detained several times in the past, said he was consulting doctors and
performing a number of medical examinations as results of poor
condition and torture he experienced in prison.
He suffers from asthma and back problems, however the security agents
denied him medical treatment and access to pain medication.
Adil, who had been detained without charge, "was subjected to torture
when he requested pain medication for back pain and arthritis caused
by prior torture," said the African Centre for Justice and Peace
Studies, in a statement issued last May.
On 27 April, the security service arrested for nine hours Adil Karar’s
wife and his two children, aged 13 and 18. His family sent three
letters in March and April to the NISS requesting to charge him or
release him.
