The Sudanese government has arrested eight political prisoners, including activists and journalists, in a crackdown on dissent. The prisoners are being held in inhumane conditions, with limited access to food, water, and medical care.
"We are being treated like animals," said one of the prisoners. "We are not being given enough food or water, and we are not being allowed to see our families."
The prisoners are being held in a prison in Khartoum, where they are being subjected to physical and psychological torture. They are being denied access to lawyers and are being forced to make false confessions.
The Sudanese government has not commented on the arrests, but human rights groups have condemned the crackdown on dissent.
Author's note: The situation in Sudan is dire, with the government showing no signs of restraint in its persecution of political prisoners.
