One of the Christian Aid’s Sudanese partners, Dr. Mudawi Ibrahim Adam, who had been arrested for the third time this year on 8th May has been released. He was arrested for photographing military installations, and for crimes against the state reported the BBC.
He was detained hours before he was due to leave for Dublin to accept an award from the Irish president, Mary McAleese, on behalf of the human rights group, Front Line. Dr Mudawi is the founder and chairperson of the Sudan Social Development Organisation (SUDO) and a Christian Aid partner.
He was selected for his courageous and inspiring work for human rights in Sudan, providing emergency services in Darfur and trying to find a solution to the conflict. Together with the SUDO he has played a vital role in the promotion of the situation in Sudan, as well as running health and sanitation projects in Darfur, where he was arrested previously for ‘internationalising’ its conflict.
Despite all the continual targeting by the government against him, Dr. Mudawi has refused to abandon his country, even though he could be arrested again at anytime. He proclaims that he is fighting to bring peace and justice to Sudan, expressing, "This is the only way to change things, we have to struggle, we have to sacrifice."
