SUDAN NEWS ALERT: Reuters - Sudan's opposition rejects judicial immunity for military rulers

16/7/19: Reuters - Sudan's opposition rejects judicial immunity for military rulers, by Nadine Awadalla

 Reuters reports that the Sudanese Professionals Association (SPA) is opposed to granting military rulers “absolute” immunity against possible prosecution for violence against protesters.

 Ismail Al Taj, an SPA leader,  said the Declaration of Freedom and Change coalition unanimously agreed that immunity for the military for the June 3 massacres would be restricted procedurally.

 Al Taj added that protesters were still demanding an independent investigation into the bloodshed, which stalled efforts to reach a deal between the DFC and the military council.
