Another Central Darfur displaced held by Military Intelligence

NIERTETI (22 Oct.) - Agents of the Military Intelligence Service detained a resident of the Northern Nierteti camp for the displaced in Central Darfur on Monday.

“Six Military Intelligence officers in a vehicle stormed the repair shop of Ishag Idris in Nierteti on Monday afternoon,” a colleague of him told Radio Dabanga. “They beat him, and took him to the nearby military garrison.”

The source expressed his fear that Idris will be subjected to torture, and called on the local authorities, Unamid, and human rights organisations to intervene, “rescue Idris”, and put an end to the arbitrary detention of citizens and displaced by the Military Intelligence.

Earlier this month, Military Intelligence officers detained Haroun Abdallah Yousef, a petrol dealer of Northern Nierteti camp. A farmer of Northern Nierteti camp, Ishag Yagoub Adam, was accused of being affiliated with a rebel movement, and tortured.
