Two prominent leaders of the opposition Sudanese Congress Party were released by the National Intelligence and Security Service (NISS) in Khartoum on Sunday.
Former Sudanese Congress Party (SCP) leader Ibrahim El Sheikh and political secretary Abubakar Yousif were set free after having been detained without charges for almost four weeks.
They were held, together with other party members by NISS agentsandnbsp;on 19 July, following a visit to hundreds of Darfuri students who were stranded at a village south of Khartoum.
The SCP said in a press statement on Sunday evening that the detention “clearly reflects the regime’s position towards political parties linking with the people”.
The party pointed to the repeated detentions of SCP members by the security apparatus.
