17 members of the Sudanese Communist Party have been arrested in and around Sudan’s capital Khartoum since the protests began. On 27 September, the NISS arrested Dr Sidgi Kaballo, a member of the Central Committee of Sudan’s Communist Party, shortly after he returned from the UK. Family members attempted to visit him on 30 September, but were told to return in 15 days. The NISS would not disclose the detained doctor’s whereabouts to his family. The 64-year-old doctor holds dual Sudanese and British nationality. He suffers from Type 1 Diabetes and his family are concerned that he is not receiving adequate care in detention. Amnesty International has received reports that members of other opposition parties, including 15 members of the Sudanese Congress Party, have also been arrested.
