Rihanna voiced her support for the protesters, who stood up against Sudan President Omar al-Bashir’s oppressive rule and were met with violence from police.
With more protests planned for today, June 30, I send my ?? and I pray for the safety of the Sudanese people. They have a right to speak out and demand peace, justice and a transition to civilian rule. Over 100 were killed & hundreds more were wounded during the June 3rd protests pic.twitter.com/2T8YudGxIx
