Protests in Sudan have continued against the country’s self-installed military rulers. In the latest round of protests outside the capital Khartoum, police admit to killing a protester, shooting him to death, escalating the violence on both sides. So far, 125 protestors have been killed since the coup occurred in October of 2021.
The police defended their actions, saying “We saw the video that was widely circulated, including the falling of one of the protesters due to the behavior of one of our police officers, and we confirm here that the police had taken all the necessary legal procedures against him. We also stress that this was an individual behavior that was rejected by the police and against the orders we had given to our forces on the ground.”
The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors tweeted in response to the killing Ibrahim Mazjoob, the latest protestor to be killed by the military junta, “The martyrdom of the revolutionary Ibrahim Majzoob is another crime added to the crimes of the police, the coup authority and its military council.”
