SUDANESE IN UK PROTEST AGAINST BASHIR’S REPRESSIVE REGIME

LONDON

30.05.2014

Sudanese opposition groups and British Human Rights Organizations plan to organize protest marches in the city of London on the 21.06.2014. The purpose of the action is to disclose the atrocities of the regime of Khartoum on international level and gain the support of the international democratic forces to put pressure on the regime in Khartoum to end its repressive policy, respect basic human rights and stop its aerial bombardment of innocent people in Nuba mountains and Blue Nile.

A statement issued by the organizers declares:
June 2014 marks a quarter of a century since the coup that brought President Al Bashir of Sudan to power. Since then, his regime has proved corrupt and repressive. A genocidal campaign, begun more than 11 years ago, continues to rage in Darfur. Since 2011, civilians in South Kordofan and Blue Nile States have faced daily violence and aerial bombardment. A humanitarian crisis is growing across the country - often the government denies assistance to starving civilians. Freedom of speech and abuse of human rights are at an all-time low and protesters are shot on the capital’s streets.
