DAYS into the lifting of the state of emergency in Sudan on May 29, the nationwide pro-democracy protests and the violent crackdown against them by the security forces of the military junta show no signs of waning.
At least 40 protesters were injured in the crackdown on the mass demonstrations demanding civilian rule on May 30 and 31, according to reports by the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors (CCSD).
Fourteen were shot with live ammunition. Many others sustained injuries from direct hits by tear gas canisters and from asphyxiation due to inhalation.
