HUDO Centre 4. The missionary/ Mr. Habeil Ibrahim Eltahir. 5. Mr. Abdelbagi Tutu Korey, member of the executive committee of Sudanese Christ Church. They were released on the same day at 10:00 PM on police bond (bail) and a court trial was scheduled for 31st October 2017 in Althawra court. All the five arrested church leaders were attended the trial scheduled date while the complainant/ plaintiff (the policeman) was absent. One of the defendants’ lawyers informed HUDO that the judge offered an arrangement (deal) of discharging the case if the five defendants agreed by signing not to act in the same manner. The offer was entirely rejected by the defendants. Then the judge postponed court to 15th November 2017. HUDO Centre’s executive director Bushra Gamar commented that “We cannot take this case in isolation from many previous cases concerning the oppression and infringement of Christians’ rights by Sudan government. It is a deliberate process in which the current regime has created churches management department headed by Muslims at the ministry of religions intervening in Christians basic rights of worship while leaving the Sudanese Church Council with the secondary role. That aside, the ministry intended to support small groups against the legitimate committees neglecting the will of majority. Nevertheless, the court offering a dismissal case deal in the absence of the complainant” HUDO Centre is very concerned about Christians’ right of worship. We call upon;  The Sudanese community to support the Sudanese Christians and to carry out a campaign in protecting the freedom of worship.  The supporters and activists to attend the next court session.  The international community and embassies in Sudan to put more pressure on Sudan government to stop targeting Christians.
