HUDO Centre Date: 21st July 2023 No.: H.K/PS/23/023 ‫‏‬ ‫‏‬UPDATE ON SAF ARRESTED MR. MOWAFAG SUBAHI IN TALODI, SUDAN ‫‏‬ Since 24th June 2023, Mr. Mwafag Subahi has been held incommunicado by SAF in Talodi town after arresting him in a brutal manner. They denied him access by his family and legal team (his lawyers). ‫‏‬ On 24thJune 2023, Mr. Mowafag Kamal-aldin Muhammad Ali Subahi was brutally (beaten) arrested by eight (8) SAF soldiers.During that brutal arrest, SAF soldiers kept on asking him (Mr. Mowafag) about where he was for the last four (4) days ? Family members, friends and lawyers attempted to visit him but they were denied access by the SAF soldiers. This raised the fear among his people that he could be undergoing torture. There is general fear for his life. ‫‏‬ HUDO Centre is concerned about the safety of the civilians in Sudan during this difficult time of SAF and RSF fight (conflict) and calls for the following;  The Sudan Armed Force in Talodi to immediately release Mr. Mowafag unconditionally or refer him to the courts of law if there is a genuine case against him.  The SAF commander in South Kordufan State/ Nuba Mountains to investigate the circumstances of Mr. Muwafag's arrest and open the report to the public.  Sudan Armed Force to stop arresting civilians arbitrarily.
