The coup authorities reject “external interference” in the country’s affairs after arresting members of the “dismantling of the Brotherhood”
Sudan considered the tweets of foreign ambassadors regarding the arrest of 3 members of the “Brotherhood Dismantling” committee as a “blatant interference” in its internal affairs that contradicts diplomatic norms and practices.
On Wednesday, the Sudanese authorities arrested former Cabinet Minister Khaled Omar Youssef, member of the Brotherhood’s dismantling committee, Wajdi Saleh, and the Secretary-General of the Committee, Al-Tayeb Othman, under Article 177-2 of the Criminal Code related to breach of trust.
The United States, Canada and a number of European countries expressed concern about this step, which Sudan denied, stressing that the detention was carried out in accordance with the criminal law and not because of a political reason.
The Sudanese Ministry of Foreign Affairs said that the tweets of some of our accredited ambassadors regarding the arrest of two citizens under the provisions of the applicable laws “lack diplomatic decency and prudence,” and added that “the arrested citizens were detained based on purely criminal suspicion, not as a result of any accusation or political motive.”
And then added, "Some ambassadors' tweets are a blatant interference in the country's internal affairs and contradict diplomatic norms and practices."
In previous statements, the advisor to the Sudanese army commander, Brigadier General Taher Abuhaja, denied that the arrest of some leaders of the frozen dismantling committee was a “political arrest.”
Abu Haja said in a press statement on Thursday, "What happened in the face of some leaders of the frozen empowerment committee is an arrest warrant according to reports, not an arrest, and there is a big difference in the two words."
He explained that "the arrest warrant is issued by the security services, while the arrest warrant is issued by the judicial authorities, whether it is the prosecution or the judiciary."
Abu Haja was surprised by some people’s attempt to show that the arrest was political, stressing “the concern for the principles of the December revolution in preserving political and civil liberties.”
