According to recent reports, many Sudanese bloggers and activists have been arrested in the last few days. Today, I have followed one of the bloggers’ posts on Twitter. Maha Sanosi @MimzicalMimz [1] was arrested. She was released later to tell us about the police raid:

Below are some of the blogger's Tweets hours before the police raid:
All I'm saying is please don't believe everything you hear. NISS is launching heavy campaign to discredit #SudanRevolts [3] protetsters.

Although Sanosi and many other activists, bloggers and protestors have been arrested, the #SudanRevolt protestors will never be continue. If you are on Twitter, don't forget to Tweet about #Sudan; your solidarity means a lot for activists there.
