Aisha El Samani Imam, journalist for the Citizen daily English newspaper, is to appear before a criminal court today in En Nahud town in Sudan’s West Kordofan state.
She was taken in by police on Friday 4 July and charged under articles 1926 and 57 for photographing military zones near En Nahud Prison. She was released conditionally and returned to Khartoum.
Aisha appeared before the En Nahud court on 26 November, but the sitting was rescheduled to 10 December after the judge did not show up.
If convicted, the journalist could face a year in prison or a fine.
