Mudaththir Hussein Mustafa told Sudan Tribune that the arrests took place in Kutum town and the Kassab camp for displaced people. The RSF also imposed a strict curfew in both locations, starting at 4 p.m. local time (1400 GMT) and lasting until the following morning.
''The RSF carried out a widespread arrest campaign— and assaulted dozens by beating them and expelling them from their homes after accusing them of supporting the armed movements,'' Mustafa said.

The RSF has not commented on the arrests or the reported curfew.
