Martyrs' Families Plan to Bring Charges, Solidarity Protests from Around the World

The head of the Sudanese Doctors Syndicate, Dr. Ahmed El-Sheikh was arrested today by security forces, from his clinic. The Sudanese Doctors Syndicate head reported to the press that 210 protesters had been killed in protests. His arrest follows days of increasing numbers of activists being arrested from homes and workplaces, leading some to joke that the NISS is trying to arrest all of Sudan to stope the protests. Many are being detained in unknown locations and being held without charges. It is estimated that more than 700 citizens are currently being detained as a result of the most recent protests.

The ruling National Congress Part (NCP) formed a "Committee of Accountability" to address party members that signed a reform memorandum.
