Sudan frees jailed opposition leader Al-Mahdi
Sudanese authorities released opposition leader Sadiq al-Mahdi on Sunday, Sudan's State Minister of Information, Yasser Youssef, told Reuters.     

Al-Mahdi, who was arrested in mid-May, was accused of undermining the constitution, a charge that could have led to the death penalty, after he said the government had committed violence against civilians in the Darfur region.                  

Minister Youssef said the release of al-Mahdi was done within a "legal framework" but did not give further details.
