July 7, 2013, (KHARTOUM) - A group of Sudanese activists have
demonstrated in front of the Ministry of Justice in Khartoum to
protest the slow pace of the trial of those involved in the killing of
4 protesters in Kajbar area in north Sudan in 2007.

On June 13, 2007, security forces used excessive force to disperse a
peaceful demonstration by residents protesting the construction of a
dam at Third Cataract by Kajbar village. The security forces used tear
gas and live ammunition killing 4 people and wounding many others.
The protesters held banners saying “Justice is a meaning, not a
building” in reference to the Ministry of Justice’s multi-billion high
rise building in down town Khartoum.
The protesters handed over an urgent memo to the officials at the
Ministry of Justice calling for referring the case to the court to
investigate the perpetrators and bring them to justice.
The protest lasted for 23 minutes and demonstrators dispersed upon
arrival of security forces who feared its expansion.
