Sudanese court imprisons nine women arrested in anti-government protest

CAIRO — Sudan sentenced nine women to a month’s imprisonment for taking part in anti-government protests, an opposition group said Sunday, the latest in a crackdown aimed at quashing almost three months of protests calling for the country’s autocratic president to step down.

Hundreds of protesters have been brought before emergency courts across Sudan for speedy trials over violating a state of emergency declared by President Omar al-Bashir in late February. They said that security forces had surrounded the headquarters of the large opposition Umma Party in Omdurman to prevent a possible march to Parliament. The march was called by the Sudanese Professionals Association.

This is disgustingly appalling are women to be punished for having a voice and using it
