Sudanese security forces have raided the offices of an independent committee probing a 2019 crackdown in which more than 100 demonstrators were killed, the head of the inquiry said Monday.

"The committee's offices have been taken over by security forces, who have allowed other civilian authorities to enter," lawyer Nabil Adeeb said in a statement.
