In El Obeid, NISS carried out mass arrests at a scheduled event for the "Leave" campaign, which asks voters to boycott elections. NISS prevented the event from taking place, taking into custody the National Umma Party Secretary General Sarah Nugdalla, Union Movement figure Mohammad Yacoub Shadad and 34 other opposition figures before releasing them later in the day. NISS and police then dispersed growing crowds surrounding NUP headquarters, firing tear gas canisters and rubber bullets. |
