Protests in central Khartoum against detention centres of the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces (RSF) and the security apparatus, have been dispersed by the police on Sunday.
The demonstration in El Gasr Street and the vigil in front of the Public Prosecution was stopped by “an excessive use of tear gas”, one of the protestors told Radio Dabanga.
The protests, organised by the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA), called for restricting detention competences to the police only, the closure of the RSF detention centres and other ‘ghost houses’ in the country, and retribution for the protestors killed during the 2018 December revolution.
