Agents of the Sudanese Military Intelligence Service detained a displaced man of the Northern Nierteti camp, Central Darfur, on Sunday. “They raided the shelter of Haroun Abdallah Yousef, who works as a petrol dealer, in Northern Nierteti camp on Sunday morning. They took him, his motorcycle, and three jerrycans of petrol to the nearby military garrison,” one of his relatives reported to Radio Dabanga. “Military Intelligence officers have been detaining displaced people and citizens lately, accusing them of supporting rebel movements,” he noted. He appealed through Radio Dabanga to human rights organisations to intervene and pressure the authorities to “release the detainees, and stop these random detentions”. File photo: Maj. Gen.
