The Sudanese Communist Party (SCP) is denouncing the arrest of one of its leaders, Amal El Zein, and demanding her immediate release.
According to Fathi Al-Fadl, member of the Political Bureau of the SCP, on the morning of June 23 she was seized by military intelligence officers and taken to an undisclosed location.
Statement: Comrade Amal El Zein, a member of the Political Bureau of the Sudanese Communist Party, was arrested by military intelligence. She was taken to an undisclosed location, and neither her family nor her fellow lawyers have been allowed to visit her or check on her well-being. Comrade Amal El Zein suffers from diabetes and hypertension, requiring continuous medication. Despite being under medical supervision, military intelligence has refused any contact with her.
We demand the immediate release of Comrade Amal El Zein and insist that her family and fellow lawyers be allowed to visit her to ensure her well-being. Additionally, she must be permitted to see a doctor and receive the necessary medications and treatments.
We hold military intelligence and the current authorities fully responsible for any danger that threatens Comrade Amal El Zein.
We urge all democratic lawyers and honorable legal professionals to intervene immediately to secure the release of Comrade Amal El Zein. We also call upon all active national forces, fraternal parties, and human rights organizations to demand the release of Amal El Zein.
