Dr Mudawi Ibrahim<\/strong><\/p>\n

On Monday, Lawyer Salwa Absam filed two notes on behalf of the family of Dr Mudawi Ibrahim, his driver Adam El Sheikh, and Nora Obeid, to the Legislation and Human Rights Committee at the Parliament, and the Commission on Human Rights, calling for their release or trial.<\/p>\n

The memorandum submitted to the Parliament demanded summoning the security services director about the arrest of Dr Ibrahim and his colleagues, and keeping them in custody without trial.<\/p>\n

The memorandum submitted to the Human Rights Commission demands that they be released immediately or charged and brought to without delay.<\/p>\n

The memorandum also called on the Human Rights Commission for the appointment of a special prosecutor to inspect the detainees’ prisons and ensure compliance with prison regulations and the rights of those arrested.<\/p>\n

The memorandum considered Dr Mudawi and his colleagues’ prolonged detention as a violation of their fundamental rights, and a clear violation of the Interim Constitution and all international covenants and conventions ratified by Sudan.<\/p>\n
