Sudan police fire live rounds outside home of slain protester
2019-01-18
[Aljazeera] Sudanese police fired live ammunition at mourners outside the home of a protester who died early on Friday from a gunshot wound sustained the night before.

About 2,000 mourners gathered in the Burri neighbourhood where the man, Moawia Bashir Khalil, 60, was shot on Thursday. According to local reports, Khalil was killed inside his home for helping unarmed protesters hide from security forces.

A child and a doctor were also killed by gunfire in Burri on Thursday, said the Sudan Doctors' Committee (SDC), a group linked to the opposition.

Before police opened fire on Friday, some mourners pelted officers nearby with rocks and overturned and destroyed a police truck, witness video showed.
