13 July 2011 - UNAMID Sudanese staff member Ms. Hawa Abdalla Mohamed was released from detention yesterday in Khartoum. She underwent a medical examination and appears to be in good health.

Ms. Mohamed was arrested on 6 May by National Security personnel at her residence in Abu Shouk Internally Displaced Persons camp, near El Fasher, North Darfur.

UNAMID senior leadership continues to press local authorities for the immediate release of another staff member, Mr. Idriss Abdelrahman, who remains in detention in Nyala since late April.
