Sudan Red Crescent: Emblem not misused, 70 buried

None

An official says an investigation by the International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies found no evidence that its emblem was misused in a violent region of Sudan. However, spokeswoman Faye Callaghan said Friday that the aid group has buried 70 bodies in South Kordofan. 

 

A UN report obtained by The Associated Press last month said that Sudanese intelligence agents posed as Red Crescent workers and ordered refugees to leave a UN-protected camp. The allegation occurred in a region where Sudan's Arab military has been targeting a black ethnic minority. (AP)
