Sudan’s security agents have arrested a leading member of the Sudanese Communist Party in Blue Nile state Wednesday, the party’s secretary-general Suleiman Ali said.
Ali said party member Ibrahim Musa was taken by security agents from his National Authority for Forestry office in the state.
He said Musa’s whereabouts are unknown. The disappearance comes after the arrest of another senior member of the party in the same area called Adel Mohammed Kriazi who is still in detention for more than three weeks, Ali said.
Ali accused security agents of targeting the party members in the area by taking advantage of emergency laws imposed three years ago.
“National duologue and elections cannot go ahead as opposition party members are being detained,” he said.
Ali called for the immediate release of Ibrahim Musa by the relevant authorities.
