When ongoing street protests finally pushed Sudan鈥檚 repressive president from power last month, it was the country鈥檚 doctors many thanked. Ever since Omar al-Bashir鈥檚 successful coup in 1989 they had defied him. Staging strikes, organising demonstrations, and campaigning for human rights, the country鈥檚 white-coated men and women opposed all he stood for. In the last few months alone scores of them were jailed, beaten, tortured and some deliberately gunned down. Through the eyes of a murdered medic鈥檚 family, Mike Thomson looks at the extraordinary role these unlikely revolutionaries have played in Sudan鈥檚 uprising.
