Protesters defy military coup in Sudan

A protesters makes a peace sign with this fingers during a protest in Khartoum with the flag waving behind them.

Demonstrators have taken to the streets of Khartoum, Sudan, in an attempt to bring down the top military generals who seized power Monday. And, we hear from Dean Issacharoff, who could hardly wait to join the Israeli army at age 18. The beatings of Palestinians made him question his allegiances, but when he spoke out against the attacks, the military turned against him. Also, later this month, the United States will challenge a UK judge’s ruling on Julian Assange’s extradition to the US. The judge originally rejected the extradition over concern for Assange’s mental health.
