At the height of the conflict in Higleig, the NISS summoned Sawsan Atora, a mother who was previously affiliated with the SPLM.
Atora went to the questioning and was told that she needs to leave to the South. Although she hails from South Sudan, Atora is married to a North Sudanese and resides in Khartoum.
Atora was given a week to leave "Sudan".
Even before the week was up, she was arrested by NISS and transferred to the Omdurman Women's Prison.
She had no idea where she was. A mother of six children, she spent her days worrying about her children. One of them left school to get a job as she was the main bread-winner.
When the rainy season came, Atora worried that their roof would not survive the rain and it would collapse on her children.
She was kept at the prison since April until NISS forgot about her, in fact Atora became an unknown detainee. No one wrote or tweeted about her during her detention, in fact I only found out about her after they began releasing some detainees.
Atora became lucky when the cells became full and she had to share the cell with a few other detainees.
A detainee released a few days ago said that when she was called for interrogation, Atora told her that she would like to meet an officer.
For over 3 months, not a single officer came to her cell, she has not faced a single interrogation.
When the former detainee told the officer that Atora wants to see him. He said "she is still here?"
She was forgotten even by NISS.
Atora was released a few days ago with eye problems.
