Over 800 protesters arrested in Sudan demos: minister
KHARTOUM, Jan 7, 2019 (BSS/AFP) – More than 800 protesters have been
arrested from hundreds of anti-government demonstrations held across Sudan
since last month, the interior minister said Monday.
“The total number of protesters arrested until now is 816,” Ahmed Bilal
Osman told parliament, revealing for the first time the figure for those
detained since rallies erupted after an official hike in bread prices.
