Military rulers in Khartoum arrested two brothers of estranged former President Omar Al-Bashir, who was also detained in Kober Prison, barely a week after his removal from power.
Even as dramatic events continued to unfold in Sudan on Wednesday, President Uhuru Kenyatta remained mum over the development, despite promising to stand with the former president in February when protests were at the peak.
Only Uganda has sympathised with the former autocratic ruler, who is facing charges for crimes against humanity in the International Criminal Court at the Hague.
"We have detained symbols of the toppled regime... and brothers of the ousted president, Abdallah and Abbas," Lieutenant General Shamseddine Kabbashi told reporters.
Amnesty International called for Bashir to be "immediately handed over to the International Criminal Court" in The Hague where he faces charges of genocide, war crimes and crimes against humanity relating to the conflict in Darfur.
He denies the charges."His case must not be hurriedly tried in Sudan's notoriously dysfunctional legal system. Justice must be served," said Amnesty's Joan Nyanyuki.
Despite Al-Bashir's exit and has subsequent detention, protesters have maintained that the Military Council should handover power to civilians, a view held by African Union which has given the military up to 15 days to effect smooth transition.
In 2013, Al-Bashir attended President Uhuru Kenyatta's inauguration at Kasarani stadium amid calls by the international community to have him arrested and surrendered to the Hague for trial.
