HUDO Centre An activist from Damazin informed HUDO Centre that; “There is evidence of personal interests among SAF officers in arresting people and asking for a ransom to be paid by their relatives and in some cases on ethnic basis”. HUDO Centre is concerned about the safety of civilians in Sudan during this difficult period of fighting between (SAF) and RSF and calls for the following:  The Sudan Armed Force in Blue Nile State to immediately and unconditionally release the mentioned detainees and others potential ones or refer them to the courts of law if there is a genuine case against them.  The security committee in Blue Nile State to investigate the circumstances that led to the arrest campaign, the allegation towards SAF officers and make the results public.  The Sudan Armed Forces to stop the arrest of civilians.
