美国指责苏丹政府严厉镇压抗议活动 US Condemns 'Heavy-Handed' Crackdown on Sudan Protests

27 June, 2012

美国指责苏丹“严厉”镇压反政府抗议活动。目前，抗议活动已经蔓延到这个东非国家的几个地区。

将近两星期前，抗议活动在苏丹首都喀土穆爆发，当时只是学生抗议政府的紧缩措施计划以及物价飞涨。

此后，苏丹的动乱迅速地演变为首都以及其他几个地区更大规模的示威活动。苏丹安全部队使用催泪弹和警棍严厉地镇压示威民众，示威者则向安全部队投掷石块并焚烧汽车轮胎。

美国国务院发言人纽兰星期二说，镇压抗议者并不能解决苏丹的经济危机问题。她敦促苏丹政府立即释放所有被拘留者。

The United States has condemned  Sudan's "heavy-handed" crackdown against anti-government protests that have spread through several parts of the East African nation.

The protests began in the capital, Khartoum, nearly two weeks ago as isolated student protests over planned government austerity measures and sharp price increases.

The unrest has quickly spread into larger and more volatile demonstrations throughout the capital and several other parts of the country. Sudanese security forces have responded harshly, using tear gas and batons on protesters, who have responded by throwing rocks and burning tires in the streets.

U.S. State Department spokesperson  Nuland said the crackdown on protesters will not solve Sudan's economic crisis. She called for Sudan to immediately release all of those detained.
