On March 12, the emergency court of appeals in Sudan, amid pressure from families of the women who rallied outside the courthouse, scrapped the flogging punishment of nine female Sudanese protesters that were sentenced to 20 lashes and one month in prison for rioting.
Machi 12 mahakama ya dharura ya Sudan ilikutana na msukosuko wa maandamano nje ya mahakama kutoka kwa familia za wanawake hao, na kuahirisha adhabu ya viboko kwa wanawake tisa ambao walikuwa wamehukumiwa viboko 20 na kifungo cha mwezi mmoja kwa kosa la kuandamana.
