Sudan\u2019s security agents have arrested a leading member of the Sudanese Communist Party in Blue Nile state on Wednesday, the party\u2019s Secretary-General Suleiman Ali said.<\/p>\n

Ali said that party member Ibrahim Musa was taken by security agents from his National Authority for Forestry office in the state, and taken to an unknown location.<\/p>\n

Another senior member of the opposition party in the same area was arrested too, and is still in detention after more than three weeks, the Secretary-General said.<\/p>\n

Ali accused security agents of targeting the party members in the area by taking advantage of emergency laws imposed three years ago. He considered the arrest \u201ca campaign against the Communist Party\u201d, and demanded the release of both detainees.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe National Dialogue and general elections cannot go ahead as opposition party members are being detained,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
