A student who has been detained by the security service for more than fifteen weeks, has reported to be suffering from torture and he lost vision in one of his eyes.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The family of Darfuri student Nasreldin Mukhtar, who studies at the University of Holy Koran in Omdurman, reportedly suffered severe injuries in his legs as a result of beatings by members of the security service.<\/p>\n

Isam, his brother, told Radio Dabanga on Friday that Nasreldin has been on a hunger strike for three consecutive days starting Wednesday. “He is in a solitary cell, which causes his health to deteriorate.”<\/p>\n

He said that the authorities had only allowed his family to visit him twice since his arrest on 22 August.<\/p>\n

Nasreldin Mukhtar Mohammed Abdallah is the former head of the Darfur Students Association of the University of the Holy Koran. He was arrested at the university on 22 August<\/a> for unknown reasons.<\/p>\n

His family called for his immediate release or a fair trial. They appealed to international organisations including Amnesty International and civil society organisations to intervene to save him. They already raised a memorandum to the Attorney General, the Minister of Justice, and the security apparatus.<\/p>\n
