Three eastern Sudanese journalists have been assaulted during the past few days while they were doing their job in Red Sea state.<\/strong><\/p>\n

In a press statement on Wednesday, the Sudanese Journalists Network in Red Sea state strongly condemned the recent attacks on news reporters in the region.<\/p>\n

Correspondent Mohamed El Amin Osheik was held<\/a> by policemen when he was covering the fuel shortages in Suakin, south of Port Sudan, capital of Red Sea state. He was taken to the town’s police station and severely beaten.<\/p>\n

Journalist El Amin Ibrahim was dragged into a vehicle with a number plate of a neighbouring country in Port Sudan, and threatened after he interviewed a party with whom the assailants have differences.<\/p>\n

The network also reported that journalist Amin Sinada was subjected to defamation and abuse, without giving a reason.<\/p>\n

The Journalists Network strongly warned against the targeting of reporters, saying it will protect its members by all legal means.<\/p>\n
