Sudanese protest in Market Square, Nottingham : Stop killing civilians!

Stop killing civilians! Sudanese security forces shot dead two people Saturday during mass protests against the country’s recent military coup, a doctors’ union said. The shootings came despite repeated appeals by the West to Sudan’s new military rulers to show restraint and allow peaceful protests. Thousands of Sudanese have taken to the streets, where whistles and drums accompany chants of “revolution, revolution” in protest of this week’s coup, which is threatening to derail the country’s fitful transition to democracy. Pro-democracy groups had called for protests across the country to press demands for re-instating a deposed transitional government and releasing senior political figures from detention.
