Sudan's former President Omar al-Bashir has been moved to Kobar maximum security prison, days after he was deposed in a military coup.
Reports say, since his removal by the military last Thursday, Bashir had been detained under heavy guard in the presidential residence inside the compound that also houses the Defence Ministry.
He is reportedly being held in solitary confinement and is surrounded by tight security.
The military ousted Bashir after weeks of protests against him that culminated in a sit-in outside the Defence Ministry compound that began on April 6. Protests are still going on despite his removal.
The coup leader at the time, Awad Ibn Auf, said Bashir was being detained in a "safe place" after his removal. He himself stood down soon afterward.
Lt Gen Abdel Fattah Abdelrahman Burhan was then named as head of the transitional military council, to become Sudan's third leader in as many days.
Demonstrators have vowed to stay on the streets until there is an immediate move to civilian rule.
