The Sudanese authorities have arrested seven people in Darfur for allegedly taking part in fabricated video footage of villagers being raped by soldiers, prosecutors said on Saturday. Five of the seven - two women and three men - have already appeared in court in the North Darfur state capital of El Fasher and confessed to their part in the forgery, the city's prosecution bureau said in a statement. They charged that the fake video was "organised by two drivers belonging a foreign organization," the statement said. It did not identify the organisation and acknowledged that the two drivers "have not yet been arrested." But it claimed that the video camera used to film the footage had been recovered and belonged to "one of the accused in charge of the information office in Milleet locality."
