Sudanese doctors detail 'horrific' torture and killing by Bashir regime
Thousands of women took part in giant protests against the regime in Khartoum yesterday
SUDANESE doctors warned today that “new trends of violence” are emerging in the crackdown on protests by the tyrannical Omar al-Bashir regime — including “horrific torture of detainees which has culminated in death.”
The Sudan Doctors’ Syndicate said medical reports indicated at least 57 people have been killed in the government’s attempt to suppress mass demonstrations calling for an end to Mr Bashir’s 30-year reign.
It said at least three detainees had died from torture, including 36-year-old teacher Ahmed al-khair, arrested at a protest in Khashm el-girba.
