Sudanese national security in Abu Jubeiha locality in South Kordofan State have detained 7 youth leaders for hours before releasing them because of some calls by the youth in the area to call for improvement of services especially electricity, which has been cut off for two months. 

Speaking to Radio Tamazuj, one of the youth leaders who preferred not to be named said the youth were arrested because they handed the national security a letter to allow them to have a meeting in al-Balsam secondary school to discuss the deteriorating services in the area. 

He added that the youth were surprised that the school was closed by the security and they were not granted a permission to hold the meeting because the director of the security in the area was absent.

He also pointed that the youth went to the security office the next day to find why they were not allowed to hold the meeting but they were detained for more than five hours before being released late Wednesday.
