Concerns for detainee The family of Mohammed Salah Abdelrahman, who is currently being detained by Sudanese security services, have expressed concern at the deterioration of his health. In a statement, they said that they have been denied visits to him for almost a month. They voiced their concerns as he has already been subjected to torture, beatings, and other physical and psychological abuses during previous periods of detention during June-July 2012 and March- April 2014. The family holds the security apparatus fully responsibility for the physical and psychological health and safety of their son and stressed their right to file a lawsuit against the security services by all means so as to compensate for any physical or psychological harm.
