ANHRI condemns the act of arresting the Egyptian journalist “Shymaa Adel”, the correspondent of Al-Waten” newspaper by the Sudanese authorities, while she was in an INTERNET Cafe’ in “El-Hag Yusuf” zone, in Khartoum, after one day of publishing a report, in the Egyptian newspaper “Al-Watan”, concerning the demonstrations of “Friday of elbow-licking” in the Sudan and the violent response of the Sudanese security forces for peaceful demonstrations.
The Sudanese security arrested “Marwa El-Tegany” the Sudanese media figure and another Sudanese activist called “Yusra”. The security forces drove them, in a pick-up car (license 72091 KH 2 the Sudan), to unknown place. The news spread about her resales, but nothing is confirmed yet.
ANHRI declared its severe discomfort from the failure of the Ministry of foreign affairs to protect its Egyptian citizens abroad. Especially, that this is not the first time that the Sudanese authorities arrest an Egyptian citizen. They previously arrested “Salama El-Wardaini” a journalist and forced her to stop performing her media work and then deported her back to Egypt, during the unjustified inaction of the Egyptian foreign ministry, which made the Sudan to commit the same assault again against the Egyptian citizen “Shymaa Adel”.
ANHRI said “the Egyptian foreign ministry have to stop the policy followed at the period of the dictator Mubarak, who wasted the rights and the dignity of the Egyptian citizens abroad. Such wrong position which produced by the corrupted institutions will not be accepted anymore and we will work to punish the responsibles by all available means and mechanisms”.
ANHRI added “although the success of the revolution, but the fact of Ahmed El-Gizawy”, who was arrested in the Saudi-Arabia, then the arrest of “Salama El-Wardaini and Shymaa Adel”, assures that the Egyptian foreign ministry, continue the inaction to defend the rights of the Egyptians abroad. It is following the same policy, which ignored the thousands of the Egyptians in Saudi-Arabia and others, which require a quick action from the president-elect”.
On the other hand, ANHRI warns the Sudanese authorities, from the continuation of targeting the journalists and the activists aiming to obscure the use of the excessive violence against the peaceful demonstrations. It is also assuring that the Sudan should learn from its neighbors and to resort to political solutions instead of the security solutions.
