On Thursday evening, security forces detained about 50 Darfuri students in Khartoum for a period of time.<\/p>\n

One of the students told Radio Dabanga that members of a security force assaulted a group of students, who are originally from Darfur, in El Sunut forest. They had been conducting sociocultural activities there, he explained.<\/p>\n

“They brutally and provocatively took about fifty students, loaded them into a truck, and brought them to the police station in Khartoum North.”<\/p>\n

The students added that policemen asked them questions, and released them on Thursday night. “They detained us although we had obtained a permit for holding the activity.”<\/p>\n

Dozens of students from Darfur were detained after the head of the National Islamist Students Movement, the student wing of the ruling party, was killed in clashes at Sharg El Nil College on 29 April. Even a number of family members of Darfuri students were reportedly held in police custody in Omdurman last week, and at least three Darfuri students were detained in front of Bahri University on Wednesday.<\/p>\n
