DETAINED journalist Maha Hassan Ali was released by security officials in Khartoum Wednesday afternoon on a personal bail by the chairman of the Sudanese Journalists Union, Najeeb Adam. Adam said he and a delegation of the union had approached “a ranking security official” and secured her release. Maha and two male journalists were arrested early in the week for what the security termed as “charges related to the country’s security”. The other two, Mohammed Abdulsid and Abdulgadir Hafiz, are still in custody. Adam told reporters he will also try to secure their release.
