Sudanese journalist dies after being tortured
Torture
Prominent Sudanese journalist Yahya Hamad Fadlallah has died in a hospital, one month after Sudanese Armed Forces (SAF) arrested him and his son at their home in the capital Khartoum on December 11, according to news reports.
Fadlallah was tortured by the army, falsely accused of collaborating with the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF), and denied medical treatment for his diabetes, the Darfur Bar Association said, citing unnamed sources close to Fadlallah. The local trade union Sudanese Journalists Syndicate (SJS) made the same allegations.
Fadlallah died on January 13 in Al Nou Hospital in Omdurman, in Khartoum State, where he was taken after being released from detention on January 10 due to poor health.
