Sudanese authorities on Wednesday released four journalists detained a week ago trying to report on violent protests against the construction of a new dam in the Kajbar area in northern Sudan. Five other people, including three lawyers, arrested along with the journalists remain in custody, the journalists said.
"We were freed early this morning," Gadhafi Abdul al-Mutalib Saeed, a journalist from the independent al-Ayam newspaper, told Reuters. He and the others were detained on June 13. The journalists' rights group Reporters Sans Frontieres (RSF) has said that while there was a "degree of freedom" in the Sudanese media, press freedoms were often flouted.
