Sudan security forces plotted killings and torture of pro-democracy protesters, investigation finds

Sudan protest leaders are urging people to remain in the streets amid a military coup that has left 16 people killed in the last few days.

Sudanese security forces went to great lengths to plot and perpetrate mass atrocities against demonstrating civilians, a new report from the U.S-based Physicians for Human Rights (PHR) has concluded.

The investigation, titled “Chaos and Fire” and based on dozens of survivor and eyewitness accounts, as well as clinical evaluations and consultations with locals and open-source materials, has determined that the June 3, 2019, massacre – which claimed the lives of at least 241 people and wounded countless more – came at the behest of the state’s security apparatus. The violence occurred in the al-Qiyada neighborhood of the capital Khartoum, which for some six months at that point had been occupied by anti-government protestors.
