"Mohammed Abdulrahman, from Ahlia University, died last night in Omdurman hospital as a result of his wounds," activist said.

A Sudanese student died after he was beaten by police during anti-government protests in Khartoum on Sunday.

"Mohammed Abdulrahman, from Ahlia University, died last night in Omdurman hospital as a result of his ... wounds after he was beaten by police," an activist who took part in Sunday's protest told AFP news agency on Monday.

Sunday's demonstrations followed calls by the "30 January" Facebook group for Sudanese youth to take to the streets and stage peaceful anti-government rallies across Sudan.
This morning (Monday) both Ahlia University and the Islamic University of Omdurman have been closed by a government decision," the activist added, speaking on condition of anonymity.

Protesters on Sunday were confronted by a heavy police presence in different parts of Khartoum and in El-Obeid, around 600 kilometers (370 miles) west of the capital.
The ensuing clashes resulted in at least 64 arrests and left many wounded.

In Omdurman, Khartoum's twin city just across the Nile, around 1,000 demonstrators shouted slogans against President Omar al-Bashir and hurled rocks at riot police, who retaliated with tear gas and batons.
