Some detainees were released without charge. None appear to have received effective remedies, including compensation for their unlawful detention and no security officers appeared to have been held to account. NISS suppression of freedoms of expression, association and assembly continues. In the week beginning 14 December, the NISS indefinitely suspended the independent newspaper al-Tayar, prevented three banned civil society organisations from holding a press conference in Khartoum, and shut down the office of the international organisation, Tear Fund in Sudan. The NISS maintains broad powers of arrest and detention under the National Security Act 2010, which allows suspects to be detained for up to four-and-a-half months without judicial review. NSS officials often use these powers to arbitrarily arrest and detain individuals, and to subject them to torture and other forms of ill-treatment. Under the same Act, NSS agents are provided with protection from prosecution for any act committed in the course of their work, which has resulted in a pervasive culture of impunity. The constitutional amendments passed by Parliament on 5 January 2015, have exacerbated the situation. The constitutional amendments accorded sweeping powers to the NISS which now has unlimited discretion to interfere in political, economic and social issues.
