He said “the joint forces acted responsibly and faced the raging public with batons and rifle butts, which subjected 28 people, including four police and 19 women, to light injuries. In addition, two members of the same family were killed by bullets fired by the accused.” However several witnesses from Nierteti refute Governor Andelhakam’s explanation.

More than 200 Sudanese lawyers have signed a petition for their release, calling their detention ‘unconstitutional’. Three of the lawyers were arrested from their offices in Khartoum on 23, 25 and 28 December, while Tasneem Ahmed Taha was arrested from her office in El Fasher on 26 December and transferred to Khartoum. In a statement to Radio Dabanga, lawyer and human rights activist Manal Khodjaly described the lawyers’ arrest as “arbitrary and contrary to all international conventions and the citizen rights included in the Constitution”. She condemns the arrest as “encroachment on the right to freedom of expression, life and work, as well as encroachment on laws”. Khodjaly called on the government “to respect the constitution and the agreements the state signed by the immediate release of the detainees or to bring them to trial”. She said that “work in the field of human rights is now a crime in the eyes of the government,” referring to the daily arrests of activists. Petition At least about 223 Sudanese lawyers have now signed a petition condemning the arrest of the four lawyers.* *More news from Radio Dabanga:* ‘70+ Sudanese refugees murdered in South Sudan’: Missionary <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=633c325781&e=5ffa50b614> January 3 - 2017 MABAN COUNTY More than 70 Sudanese refugees who fled the fighting in Blue Nile state for Doro, in South Sudan’s Maban county in Upper Nile state, were reportedly murdered on 24, 25, 26 December 2016… Produce vendors refuse to move market in Kassala, eastern Sudan <http://dabangasudan.us9.list-manage1.com/track/click?u=ac95e0e4d9338971bb35b6965&id=1a24be4c63&e=5ffa50b614> January 3 - 2017 KASSALA The leaders of the Union of Butchers, Vegetable and Fruit Vendors have been summoned by security officials over their refusal to relocate to a market on the eastern edge of the city….
