Sudan regime shunting politicals to remote jails, communists warn
SUDANESE authorities have moved a number of political prisoners to more remote jails, the country’s Communist Party (SCP) revealed yesterday.
Party activists including general secretary Muhammad Mukhtar al-Khatieb were rounded up during mass protests against soaring bread prices a fortnight ago.
The remote prisons in Zalingh and Shala “lack the basic conditions to accommodate the detainees” or access to proper medical care, the SCP warned.
