The authorities have released the detained professors and students from our universities. This outcome reflects the persistence of those who refused to remain silent during such a dark period for our academic community. We must continue to watch the situation closely to ensure that such violations do not recur.

Urgent Action: Stop Violence against peaceful university professors and students in Sudan
To the UN OHCHR: Gross HR Violations in Sudan – March 12, 2019
We, the Professors Association of Sudanese Universities, Colleges and Higher Institutes (PASUCHI), write to you regarding the deeply concerning human rights situation in Sudan. Since the wave of protests against the government was escalated on December 19, 2018, in many cities around Sudan, more than 30 university professors and 1000 students are reported to have been arrested by armed masked men, believed to be members of the ruling party - the National Congress Party (NCP) – official and non-official forces.
We call on the international community – and particularly the UN Human Rights Council – to take action to end the extensive human rights abuses being perpetrated in Sudan, and to:
• Express concern at the arrest and continuing of detention of prisoners Professors and Students
• Urge the Sudanese authorities to immediately and unconditionally release Professors and Students
• Request assurances that prisoners are being humanely treated, that they have immediate and regular access to their families, lawyers, and any necessary medical attention.

Deeply worrying reports coming out of Khartoum. The UN needs to step in before more innocent people get hurt.
My cousin is one of them. We just want to know he is safe. This has to stop.
Free them all now. Stop the violence against those who just want to teach and learn. Praying for Sudan.
Where is the justice?? Taking people from their classes is just weak and afraid. RELEASE THEM.
Academic freedom is a right. Shame on the NCP for these arrests.

This is completely unacceptable. Students and professors are the future of the country and should not be treated like criminals for wanting a better life.
