KHARTOUM, Sudan: The Qatar-based satellite news network Al Jazeera said that Sudanese authorities on Tuesday released its bureau chief, two days after he was detained in the African country.
Security forces arrested El Musalmi El Kabbashi on Sunday, following a raid on his home in the Sudanese capital of Khartoum. That came a day after thousands of pro-democracy protesters took to the streets across Sudan to rally against the military’s coup last month.
Al-Jazeera did not elaborate further on the circumstances of El Kabbashi's release in its statement on Twitter. Sudanese authorities have not commented on the reporter’s detention.
