اغتيال محمد عبد السلام، اقوال الجبهة الديمقراطية

Quote: 119. The Special Rapporteur learned with concern that a large number of students have been arrested over the years. It is alleged that they were often abducted, blindfolded and tortured, and then released after a day or so. In the worst cases, death occurred in custody. Such was the case of Mohamed Abdesalam Babiker, a law student at the University of Khartoum and a member of the Democratic Front, who was reportedly arrested on 4 August 1998 by units of the Popular Defence Forces and the Forces for the Defence of Belief and the State while taking part in a demonstration protesting an 80 per cent rise in university fees. He died while in the custody of the security forces on 4 August 1998. It was alleged that several other students were heavily tortured for belonging to opposition parties or associations: among them Khalid al Taher Mustapha, a 25-year-old student and a member of the New Forces Movement, was abducted in front of the University on 12 November 1998, driven to a hotel and tortured; Mohamed Ahmed el Nour, aged 29, and Muawia Bushra, 25, both students at the University of Juba and members of the Democratic Front allegedly met the same fate in December 1998.
