Print run of Al-Tayyar newspaper confiscated by Sudan security

 Sudan’s National Intelligence and Security Services (NISS) on Sunday confiscated the print-run of Al-Tayyar daily newspaper without giving reasons.

Security agents in Khartoum have recently decided to crackdown on newspapers for publishing reports on the recent civil disobedience actions. They seized copies of various dailies 31 times since activists started to call for nationwide civil disobedience.

Sudanese newspapers have been complaining about excessive powers given to the security to suspend or confiscate newspapers.
