Darfur students arrested after internet raids

EL FASHER (1 August) – Six students from El Fasher University have been arrested in El Fasher during a raiding campaign of security officers. The officers were collecting computers and laptops from the internet cafeterias in the capital of North-Darfur. Besides the students, trusted sources informed Radio Dabanga that some IT-technicians were taken for interrogation. Customers of one of the Internet cafes at El Fasher market clearly detested the action of the intelligence officers. The confiscated computers are brought to the police office located in central El Fasher. The reason behind the action was not clear.
