Doctors in Sudan say security forces have killed a protester during an anti-coup demonstration in the capital, Khartoum.

Activists had called for fresh rallies yesterday to demand the return of civilian rule.

The Central Committee of Sudanese Doctors said the person who was killed, who hasn’t yet been identified, was hit in the head by a teargas canister then run over by a military vehicle.

The committee says that at least 117 demonstrators have been killed since the coup that overthrew Sudan’s transitional government last October.
