One protester was killed as security forces confronted thousands of people protesting against military rule in Sudan’s capital Khartoum on Sunday, medics linked to the demonstrations said.
The 27-year-old, Mohamed Yousef Ismail, was hit in the chest, the Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors (CCSD) said.
There was no immediate statement from the military rulers who have been trying to contain a series of protests across Sudan since they took power on Oct. 25.
Security forces fired tear gas to try to disperse the crowds who were marching in defiance of a ban on demonstrations.
