This happened when a protest for changing the country's elections law. Pagan Amum, Yassir Arman and Abbas Gumma were the three leaders led away when they arrived in car to the parliament building in the city of Omdurman, Khartoum's twin city. Amum is the SPLM's secretary-general, Arman its deputy secretary general in northern Sudan, and Gumma is a state minister at the country's interior ministry. (AJ) In response to the the arrest the protesters burned down a NCP government building. The police say that the protest may be considered illegal. Also, the police intially followed the protest, which then turned violent when the police used tear gas and beating protestors with batons. "The security committee for Khartoum state has met and decided that the protest is illegal," Mohammed Babikir, a senior police officer said on state television late Sunday."Whoever takes part in this demonstration will be breaking the law," he said, shortly after Arman had told journalists he expected "thousands of our people" to take part. (AJ) Reform and changes to the election law were key aspects of the 2005 CPA. ||
 * Khartoum state announced the closure of schools on Monday and a day off for public employees to underline the government's "engagement ... towards democratic reform" and to aid voter registration.

Sources- Yahoo- [] Al Jazeera- [] Similar- They both agree that all three of them were released. Difference- The main difference in both articles is that Yahoo doesn't say too much on the whole situation while Al Jazeera gives a clear and very well defined summary of the whole event. Opinion- I think that we must have democracy over violence. Personally, I am happy to see that they are let go from jail. But the only problem was that it wasn't necessary to burn down a building. Also, it angered me to see that the government made this move so that they won't have an opposition to face in the next election.
