Security forces in Khartoum arrest humanitarian volunteer and activist Barir al-Toum of the Red Sea Emergency Room under unclear and inhumane circumstances.
Al-Toum is known for his contributions as a volunteer and relief activist, providing support to those in need, and for his humanitarian work among displaced communities during the war.
The Port Sudan Resistance Committees reject the arrest of humanitarian volunteer al-Toum and hold the state’s security authorities responsible for his safety.
His detention sparks widespread concern among the local community, with the Port Sudan Resistance Committees considering it part of a systematic policy of repression targeting activists.
Emergency rooms established during the war have brought together activists and volunteers dedicated to delivering humanitarian aid and food to tens of thousands of displaced people in Khartoum and other states affected by military conflict.
CFJ expresses its concern over this arbitrary arrest, holds the authorities fully responsible for al-Toum’s safety, and demands his immediate release and protection.
