Witnesses: Sudan arrests opposition Islamist Turabi

None

Sudanese security forces on Tuesday arrested opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi, witnesses said, a day after his party called for a "popular revolution" if Khartoum did not reverse price rises.

 

"They just took him with lots of security cars, they clashed with one of his staff and also arrested him," Turabi's secretary Awad Babiker told Reuters from the scene early on Tuesday. (Reuters)
