Egypt: UNHCR granted more time to interview Sudanese

The Egyptian government granted UN refugee agency UNHCR an unspecified amount of time to continue interviewing hundreds of Sudanese. They are still being held in detention centres after their involvement last month in a violent confrontation with police. "We have been given more time," said Astrid van Genderen Stort, spokeswoman for the UNHCR office in the capital, Cairo. "The government has not yet specified how long."
