HUDO Centre Date: 12th March 2021 No. H.K/PS/19/021 UPDATE On ARREST OF MR. KAILLA BY MILITARY IN TALODI, SUDAN On 8th March 2021, SAF in Talodi released Mr. Abduelsalam Kailla Komi from their detention after five days of his arrest. He was not charged of any offence but the wheat flour Sacks were confiscated. On 8th March 2021, Mr. Abduelsalam Kailla Komi was released unconditionally after spending five days detained incommunicado at Sudan Armed Force (SAF) base in Talodi. During detention, he was interrogated about the ten (10) sacks/ bags of wheat flour (alleged to be subsidized commodity) that had been transported through his office (Mr.Kailla is a transport agent). But SAF confiscated the ten (10) sacks/bags of wheat flour despite no case was filed against him. Mr. Abduelsalam Kailla Komi was arrested by SAF soldiers on 3rd March 2021 from his shop in Talodi market. HUDO is very concerned about the situation of civilians in conflict areas. HUDO calls upon:  Sudan government to hold to account SAF commandant in Talodi for arresting civilians.  Sudan government to end the state of emergency in conflict areas which enables MI to arrest civilians arbitrarily.  Sudan government to respect the constitutional rights of citizens  Sudan government to respect its international obligations.
