Quote: URGENT ACTION STUDENT ACTIVIST DETAINED, RISKS TORTURE Sudanese student activist Mohammed Salah Mohammed was arrested by men in plain clothes on 24 June in the capital, Khartoum, a few days after he joined peaceful protests. He is being held without charge and is at serious risk of torture and other ill-treatment. Mohammed Salah Mohammed, aged 23, was eating dinner with two friends in the al-Riyadh neighbourhood of Khartoum when about 20 plainclothes security agents came in, beat up the men and arrested them. His friends have since been released, but Mohammed Salah Mohammed is still detained. He has not been charged and has not had access to a lawyer. He is at serious risk of torture and other ill-treatment. His family were able to visit him on 14 July in the section of Kober prison run by the National Security Services (NSS). They have said he was shaking, and showed them a bruise on his forehead. Mohammed Salah Mohammed is in particular danger because he suffers from chronic kidney disease and requires medical attention. Mohammed Salah Mohammed is a student at the University of Khartoum's Faculty of Sciences. He is the spokesperson of the Student Democratic Front at the university and the President of the Nubians’ regional student association (a group of minority students from the Nubian region in north Sudan). He took part in peaceful protests against the government in the week before his arrest. Please write immediately in Arabic, English or your own language: Calling on the authorities to release Mohammed Salah Mohammed immediately and unconditionally; Urging them to ensure Mohammed Salah Mohammed is not tortured or otherwise ill-treated, and that he has regular access to any medical attention he may require and a lawyer of his choice; Demanding that they stop the harassment of peaceful activists and journalists, and honour their commitment to freedom of expression, as enshrined in the International Covenant on Civil and Political Rights, to which Sudan is a party.
