Sudan lawyers: Atbara acquittals demonstrate 'integrated platform for impunity'
Lawyers and public observers voiced outrage, anger, sadness, and resentment on Tuesday, after the Criminal Court of Atbara in Sudan’s River Nile state acquitted three defendants accused of killing Mukhtar Abdullah in front of the security apparatus building in Atbara on April 11, 2019; a day on which at least 13 people died across Sudan, alleged from action by security forces and ‘shadow battalions’ (armed men in plain clothes), according to Sudanese doctors. In its verdict on Tuesday, the court acquitted the defendants due to insufficient evidence.
