A family member told Amnesty International that Mr El-Niwari was arrested and detained for 10 hours on 29 August by the NISS. They questioned him about his activities as a member of the Sudan Congress Party.

Asim Omar Hassan was on trial accused of killing a police officer in May 2016. The court found Asim Omar Hassan guilty of murder and he risks the death penalty.
