Sudanese protester killed in fresh anti-coup demonstration

November 24, 2022 (KHARTOUM) – A protester was killed during an anti-coup demonstration in Omdurman on Thursday, medical and rights groups said.

The protester was killed by a gunshot wound to the abdomen by “the forces of the coup authority” that used excessive force to disperse a protest in Omdurman, said the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors (CCSD).

“The gunshot caused a laceration of the liver and severe abdominal bleeding,” further said the committee.

The death toll from violent repression has risen to 120 people killed since the coup of General Abdel Fattah al-Burhan, on October 25, 2021.

The Resistance Committees, which reject any political settlement involving the military leaders,  continue to hold neighbourhood demonstrations to voice their rejection of the process.

Yasir Arman a leading member of the Forces for Freedom and Change expressed concern about the continued violence against protesters and the detention of a leading member of the coalition.

He further called to not conclude a deal with the ruling military component under the lack of freedom and violation of human rights.

The Emergency Lawyers issued a statement confirming the killing of the protester and called to participate in his funeral.
