Police disperse protest march on women’s prison

AFP, 10TH FEBRUARY, 2019- Police used tear gas to disperse hundreds of Sudanese protesters who marched on a women’s prison calling for the release of detainees in Omdurman on Sunday, witnesses said.

“We are fighters, we will complete our mission,” protesters had chanted as women ululated and men flashed the victory sign, according to the witnesses.

The protesters called for the release of women arrested in ongoing demonstrations against President Omar al-bashir’s three-decade rule, the witnesses said.
