Wad Madani – SAR, February 26, 2025
On Monday, February 24, 2025, an unidentified group arrested four doctors in Wad Madani, the capital city of Gezira State, according to reports from the Sudanese Alliance for Rights (SAR).
The detained medics were identified as Dr. Adam Mohamed Ibrahim, a surgical consultant who held in the Madani prison; Dr. Al-Sadiq Al-Makhoul, an internal medicine specialist; Dr. Nafisa Abdul-Rahman, an intern; and Dr. Khalid Al-Faki.
The General Intelligence and Security Service has denied involvement in the arrests, while details surrounding the detention remain scarce and conflicting.
In response, the Sudanese Doctors’ Syndicate has called for an end to the targeting of medical professionals and healthcare facilities, as well as anything that may hinder the provision of medical services.
The alliance later confirmed that two of the doctors, Dr. Adam Mohammed Ibrahim and Dr. Sadiq Al-Makhoul, were released on Tuesday, February 25, while Dr. Nafisa Abdul-Rahman and Dr. Khalid Al-Faki still remain in custody.
