Sudan's President Omar al-Bashir banned public gatherings and protests in a series of emergency decrees issued on Monday as he faces the most sustained anti-government street unrest of his 30-year rule.
In a statement issued by the presidential palace, Bashir also announced a ban on trading or hoarding subsidised fuel products, as well as new regulations on trading and transporting foreign currency and gold.
In his decrees, Bashir authorised the public prosecutor to revoke any suspect's immunity should they have it and set up new courts to deal with cases related to the state of emergency.
Bashir, who came to power in a 1989 coup, on Friday declared a year-long nationwide emergency.
