Sudan arrested a second Doctors Without Borders worker over a report on rapes in Darfur, U.N. and aid officials said.
On Monday, Sudanese authorities detained Paul Foreman, a senior official from the aid group in Sudan, whose Darfur region has been plagued by more than two years of bloodshed. Foreman said he had been charged with spying, publishing false reports and undermining Sudanese society.
Charges were pending against the second worker, Vince Hoedt. Doctors Without Borders published a report in March citing about 500 rapes in Darfur.
