The Deputy Chief of Sudan’s Ruling Military Council, has said that the military has identified the perpetrators of the violent dispersal of a pro-democracy sit-in earlier this month, but said he would not reveal their identities because of an ongoing investigation.
Sudan’s security forces violently cleaned a camp of demonstrators in the capital of Khartoum on June 3. They had been holding a sit-in to pressure the military council to hand power over to civilians.
At least one hundred and twenty eight people have been killed and hundreds wounded during the break-up and since then, according to protesters. However, authorities say only sixty one have died, including three security forces.
Yesterday, General Mohamed Hamdan Dagalo better known by his nickname Hamedti, said he will not disclose the identities of the “perpetrators” so as not to influence an ongoing military investigation.
