February 6: Prominent Chad opposition members arrested

Here is an article from Amnesty International about opposition politicians who have been arrested and detained without any reason. Please pray that God would keep Lol Mahamat Choua, Ngarlejy Yorongar, Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh, and Wadel Adbelkader Kamougué; safe where they are, and that they would be released soon to their families:

"(Amnesty International): Four prominent members of the Chadian opposition have been arrested by security forces in N'Djamena. The whereabouts of Lol Mahamat Choua, Ngarlejy Yorongar, Ibni Oumar Mahamat Saleh, and Wadel Adbelkader Kamougué remain unknown since their arrest on Sunday. Amnesty International has received information suggesting they may be detained at the city's presidential palace. No legal justification has been given by the authorities for their arrest. A spokesperson at the Presidency told Amnesty International on Tuesday that "they can not confirm whether these four people have been arrested."A spokesperson for Amnesty International said that the men are at grave risk of being tortured or forcibly disappeared."
