The Central Committee of Sudan Doctors reported the death of a twenty-year-old demonstrator in Khartoum during his participation in the commemorations of what has become known as the 2019 June 3 Massacre.<\/p>\n

The victim was shot in the chest in El Sahafa in Khartoum according to the doctors committee, said in a press statement later in the evening of June 3.<\/p>\n
