March 1 (EUROPA PRESS) –
At least one Sudanese protester has died after being shot by the Sudanese Police during a new day of protests against the military junta that rules the country, according to the Sudanese Medical Committee.
“We have mercy on the soul of our brave martyr, Ibrahim Majdoub, who was killed today in (…) with a direct bullet,” the Committee of Physicians reported through its Facebook account.
The victim was participating in the demonstration against the Army held this Tuesday in Khartoum, the capital, when a policeman began shooting at several protesters, hitting the chest of the deceased.
In this sense, the Committee of Doctors has condemned the declarations of the Police, which have justified the attack by “fabricating lies” and accusing the protesters to “justify their violence against them.”
“We condemn the continuation of the violence against the protesters, and we condemn this horrible crime that comes as a continuation of the approach of the military coup,” the letter read.
For this reason, they have called on “revolutionaries inside and outside Sudan”, as well as Human Rights organizations, to press for justice for the alleged murder.
With the latter dead, there are already 125 protesters killed in the protests against the coup on October 25, 2021.
Protests have taken place in the country since the coup d’état on October 25, led by the head of the Army and president of the Sovereign Transition Council, Abdelfatá al Burhan. The coup dissolved the government of Abdalá Hamdok, appointed as a result of the overthrow of Al Bashir in April 2019 after weeks of protests against him.
International pressure led to an agreement for Hamdok to return to office, although part of the Executive and the main civil partners in the coalition rejected this pact and the prime minister for maintaining negotiations with the coup leaders despite the repression of the protests against the riot Finally, Hamdok resigned from office in early January in protest of the crackdown.
