UN rights body condemns a coup in Sudan, saying the actions by the country's military leaders have left at least 13 people dead and more than 300 injured
UN rights chief Michelle Bachelet described the situation in Sudan as"deeply disturbing", saying most detainees were being held"incommunicado, with no access to lawyers or their relatives."
The 47-member council adopted by consensus a resolution on Friday calling for the "immediate restoration" of the civilian-led government. The coup betrayed Sudan's "courageous and inspiring revolution of 2019," Bachelet said, adding that it was "urgent to restore civilian rule".
