Sudan upholds officers death sentences for killing activist

16 February 2021By AFP 0 min 58Approximate reading time Sudan’s Supreme Court has upheld death sentences for 29 intelligence officers for torturing and killing a teacher arrested during anti-government protests that toppled Omar al-Bashir, a prosecution lawyer said Tuesday. Ahmed al-Khair, 36, died in custody in February 2019 following his arrest for participating in demonstrations triggered by economic hardship in the eastern state of Kassala. His killing sparked wide public outcry, fuelling further mass protests, and the army eventually ousted Bashir in April 2019. “This week’s ruling by the Supreme Court confirmed the December 2019 death sentences of 29 intelligence officers,” lawyer Adel Abdelghani told AFP, adding the men “could still appeal the ruling before the constitutional court.”
