Sudan Arrests 3 Coup Critics as Pressure Mounts on Military
Posted on 2021-10-28 07:20:03
Relatives and activists say Sudanese security forces have detained three
prominent pro-democracy figures overnight.

The arrests come as internal and international pressure mounts on the
country's military following its coup and protests denouncing the takeover
continued Wednesday.

Many businesses have shut in response to calls for strikes.

Groups of protesters set up barricades of stones on main roads throughout the
day.

Security forces waded in, chasing demonstrators and dismantling the
barricades.

Prominent rights defender Tahani Abbas said the pro-democracy movement would
continue street protests despite the crackdown.

The coup threatens to halt Sudan's fitful transition to democracy, which
began after the 2019 ouster of longtime ruler Omar al-Bashir in a popular
uprising.
