KHARTOUM: Sudanese police fired tear gas Sunday at scores of protesters demanding an independent probe into a deadly June raid on a Khartoum sit-in, despite an investigation identifying eight officers it said were involved.
But protest leaders rejected the findings of the investigation, saying it exonerated the military council and gave a far lower death toll than their own figures.Saeed said investigators found that just 17 people were killed on Jun 3, while a total of 87 died between that day and Jun 10.The Sudanese Professionals Association, the key protest group which first spearheaded the campaign against now ousted leader Omar al-Bashir, rejected the probe.
On Sunday, scores of protesters chanting the months-long protest movement's catchcry of"Freedom, peace, justice!" rallied in Khartoum's eastern Burri district, witnesses said, adding that riot police swiftly dispersed the crowd with tear gas.The country's ruling generals have insisted they did not order the dispersal of the sit-in, which protesters had set up on Apr 6 to demand the army's support in toppling longtime leader Omar al-Bashir.
General Mohamed Hamdan Daglo, who heads the RSF and is also the ruling military council's deputy chief, has consistently denied that his men were involved in the crackdown, which triggered international outrage.
