At least 87 teachers were arrested when Sudan security forces cracked down on a sit-in at the Education Ministry in the capital, an activist group said, as protests rage on against last month’s coup.
The detentions came during demonstrations in Khartoum against the military’s assumption of power and moves to appoint members of ex-dictator Omar al-Bashir’s regime to educational roles, the Sudanese Professionals Association said Sunday in a statement.
