A BBC investigation reveals that the June 3 massacre of unarmed protestors in Khartoum was ordered by Sudan’s military  junta and was planned in advance.

More than 100 people were killed by the former janjaweed militia who dumped dozens of bodies in the Nile.

The BBC used video from more than 300 people who filmed the massacre on their mobile phones.

This was backed by evidence from soldiers involved in the crackdown on the months-long sit in outside military headquarters in Khartoum.

They say they were ordered to carry out the pre-planned attack on the demonstrators.

The Transitional Military Council, which has since entered into a power-sharing deal with the pro-democracy civilians, has yet to comment on the BBC findings.
