The UN rights chief condemned the Sudanese security forces' use of live ammunition against peaceful demonstrators.

GENEVA - The UN rights chief on Thursday condemned the Sudanese security forces' use of live ammunition against peaceful demonstrators, after 15 protesters were killed in the bloodiest day since the 25 October coup.

"Shooting into large crowds of unarmed demonstrators, leaving dozens dead and many more injured, is deplorable, clearly aimed at stifling the expression of public dissent, and amounts to gross violations of international human rights law." The latest demonstrations were organised despite a near-total shutdown of internet services and the disruption of telephone lines across Sudan.
