Khartoum, 18 July-(ANA)-A major rebel group in Darfur has let 60 prisoners go, says the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC).
Fifty-five of the prisoners were from the armed forces while the other five were from the police, the ICRC said.
They were released by the Justice and Equality Movement (Jem) to the ICRC, and then handed over to the Sudanese authorities in Kutum, in North Darfur.
The handover is one of the biggest since the bitter conflict in Darfur began in 2003.
A spokesman for the group said most of the prisoners were taken in clashes between Jem troops and government forces in the north-east of Darfur earlier this year. (ANA)
