They have since been released, without charge, although fears remain that they could be taken in again for further questioning.<br><br>Suleiman, who is the head of Khartoum Human Rights Centre, told VOA that he has been questioned about human rights before, but this is the first time that his relationship with the International Criminal Court has also been scrutinised.<br><br><table class="APIMAGE" style="direction: ltr;" align="right" width="190"><tbody><tr><td style=""><img id="||CPIMAGE:569072|" alt="Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, right, is greeted by supporters during a conference in Khartoum, 12 Nov 2008<br />" title="Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, right, is greeted by supporters during a conference in Khartoum, 12 Nov 2008<br />" src="/images/200812/AP-Sudanese-President-Omar-Hassan-al-Bashir-right-is-greeted-by-supporters-in-Khartoum-eng-190-12nov08.jpg" border="0" height="190" hspace="2" vspace="2" width="190"></td></tr><tr><td style="" class="imagecaption">Sudanese President Omar Hassan al-Bashir, right, 12 Nov 2008<br></td></tr></tbody></table>"In the previous times, we were interrogated about the human rights situation in Sudan, because we are working closely with the victims of human rights violations," he said. "This is the first time we are interrogated about the International Criminal Court and our relationship with the International Criminal Court. We sent reports and information to the International Criminal Court, especially our colleague Osman Hummaida. He provided the International Criminal Court with information about the victims and the situation in Darfur."<br><br>Suleiman said he expects others to face questioning from the security forces.<br><br>"I expect that.

Rupert Colville, a spokesman for the body, said that arbitrary arrests in the country are regularly used as a political weapon.<br><br><table class="APIMAGE" style="direction: ltr;" align="right" width="190"><tbody><tr><td style=""><img id="||CPIMAGE:489553|" title="Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), addresses a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York, 17 Jul 2008" alt="Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Prosecutor of the International Criminal Court (ICC), addresses a press conference at UN Headquarters in New York, 17 Jul 2008" src="/images/200812/un_icc_luis_moreno_ocampo_175_17Jul08_1.jpg" border="0" height="190" hspace="2" vspace="2" width="190"></td></tr><tr><td style="" class="imagecaption">Luis Moreno-Ocampo, Prosecutor of the ICC (file)<br></td></tr></tbody></table>"The report shows that the National Intelligent Security Services systematically arrest people and detain them and they are doing this in particular with political dissidents. Detention by the NISS leads to serious human rights violations in some cases," he said. "Fundamentally the NISS is not supposed to act in this way at all. Longer term one would hope that the constitutional court could review the constitutionality of the National Security Forces Act. But in the meantime, until those more fundamental elements are sorted out, there should be much greater transparency."<br><br>Chief prosecutor of the ICC, Luis Moreno Ocampo, issued an arrest warrant for President Bashir in July. Judges at the ICC asked Ocampo to provide evidence to back up the indictment, by November 17. There is no fixed deadline for the Court to take a final decision about whether or not to press ahead with the charges. </p> </span><div id="list"><ol><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26708.html" target=_blank>EU Finance Ministers to Discuss $253 Billion Economic Stimulus Plan</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26707.html" target=_blank>Bush AIDS Initiative Exceeds Goal</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26706.html" target=_blank>UNICEF Says Early Diagnosis, Treatment Key to Reducing Infant HIV/AIDS Deaths</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26705.html" target=_blank>US Stocks Plummet Monday, Experts Confirm Recession</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26704.html" target=_blank>Gates Brings Stability and Diversity to Obama Cabinet</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26703.html" target=_blank>Obama Picks Retired General as National Security Advisor</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26702.html" target=_blank>Mumbai Mourns Fallen Rabbi, Wife</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26701.html" target=_blank>Political Fallout in Wake of Terror Attacks Taking Toll in Mumbai</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26700.html" target=_blank>Obama To Unveil National Security Team</A></LI><LI><A href="VOA_Standard_English_26699.html" target=_blank>Bush Offers Support For Mumbai Investigation</A></LI></ol></div><div class="clearing"></div></div><div class="clearing"></div><div id="footer">© 2001-2008 Powered by <a href="http://www.51voa.com">51VOA.Com</a> <div id="topAds"><script language=javascript src="/topAds.js"></script></div> <div id="count"><script language=javascript src="/count.js"></script></div></div></body></html>⌨️ 快捷键说明
