Protestors take to the streets for the March of the Millions, 19 December 2020 (Social Media)
Yesterday, families of the December Revolution martyrs organised a protest in front of the Republican Palace in Khartoum. They called on the Sovereign Council to lift the juridical immunity for those accused of killing the martyrs. Problems with immunity arose in other trials as well.
The families handed a memorandum to Sovereign Council member Mohamed El Faki, which stated that immunity is the biggest obstacle to justice and that most of the perpetrators of the violence currently enjoy immunity. The memorandum also explained that security forces and other regular forces have not responded to any requests by the Public Prosecutor to lift immunities.
