Democratic Protesters Broken Up, Face Charges

KHARTOUM (Reuters) - Up to 48 Sudanese opposition supporters will face charges for taking part in a banned rally close to parliament calling for democratic reforms, officials said on Tuesday.

Reuters has a more specific number of protesters and says the rally was "banned." The A.F.P. focuses more on the imagery of police breaking it up.

KHARTOUM — Sudanese police fired tear gas, used water cannons and rounded up dozens of opposition supporters on Monday to halt a pro-democracy rally outside parliament, an AFP reporter said.
