A citizen called Mustafa Hussein was tortured to death inside military intelligence in Sudan’s Blue Nile state.

A family member told Radio Tamazuj that he was arrested six months ago with other people from a displaced camp including paramount chief of Ingessana tribe Jalal Wad Badri.

The relative added that the paramount chief who was released earlier this week confirmed to them that Hussein died of torture three days before his release. He said members of the Sudan Armed Forces burned him.

The family member said the chief told them there are dozens of citizens still in military intelligence custody in bad conditions.

He called on human rights group to intervene for the immediate release of the other detained people in Blue Nile.
