Sudanese army hands over results of protest killings in memory of protest to Attorney General

Sudan’s commander-in-chief Abdel Fattah al-Burhan mentioned the prosecutors seven accused and 92 suspects involved in last week’s unrest near the military General Command in Khartoum.

On Tuesday, security forces killed two people and injured dozens in an attack on a peaceful sit-in commemorating the second anniversary of the crackdown on the Ramadan 2019 protest, which left many people dead and injured.

The army said Saturday it had handed prosecutors the results of a search into the 2019 killings after hundreds rallied in the week calling for justice.

Burhan handed the results to prosecutor general Tagelsir al-Hebr, the military said during a statement.

The results included an inventory of army personnel suspected to be involved within the unrest, also as an order “to lift their immunity” to initiate legal proceedings and reach final rulings, it added.

Earlier, a member of the Transitional Sovereignty Council general officer Shams El-Din Kabbashi confirmed that variety of officers and soldiers were arrested and are under investigation on charges of killing protesters ahead of the military headquarters last Tuesday.

Kabbashi said the soldiers formed a committee to research who caused the events.

Sudanese Minister of Cabinet Affairs Khaled Omar Youssef said on his Facebook page that these are the primary steps towards achieving justice for the 2 martyrs shot dead last week.

Youssef indicated that the immunity of the convicts was waived, and that they were transferred to the general public prosecutor for investigation, before trial.

He stressed that the govt is decided to realize justice, in fulfillment of the slogans of the Sudanese revolution.
