Khartoum: A Sudanese court Sunday sentenced six protesters to six months in jail for violating a state of emergency imposed to quell anti-government protests, police said, as demonstrators rallied in Khartoum. The authorities have set up special emergency courts to investigate violations of a nationwide state of emergency imposed by President Omar al-Bashir on February 22 to end widespread demonstrations that erupted against his iron-fisted rule in December. The six protesters were sentenced by an emergency court in the capital’s twin city of Omdurman, police spokesman Abdelrahim said. (AFP)
