Prosecutor Fathel-Rahman Said announced that eight officers from the paramilitary Rapid Support Forces had exceeded their orders when they led RSF troops to clear a pro-democracy sit-in on June 3 in the capital, Khartoum. He said security forces were told to clear a lawless area close to the sit-in, not to raze the protest camp. Said, who heads a committee investigating the dispersal, said on Saturday, July 27, that the officers, including a major general, have been accused of crimes against humanity. (AP Photo)
