Al-Turabi arrested in Khartoum - Africa - Al Jazeera English: "Security forces in Sudan have arrested opposition leader Hassan al-Turabi from his home in Khartoum, al-Turabi's Popular Congress Party spokesman told Al Jazeera.
Monday's arrest comes a day after al-Turabi's party called for a 'popular revolution' if the Sudanese government did not reverse price increases.
'He has been arrested ... with five other members of the group, and we don't know the reasons, because when they come to arrest him they don't give any reason,' Bashir Adam Rahma, told Al Jazeera.
'Whenever this regime has a crisis ... they will capture Dr Turabi at first. I think they are afraid of him that he might instigate some kind of uprising because ... in Sudan there are no freedoms,' Rahma said.
