Sudan announced Monday the arrest of 816 people during three weeks of protests in the country over a spike in bread prices.
In a report to parliament, Interior Minister Ahmed Bilal Othman added that 381 demonstrations had taken place and 127 police officers were injured during the demonstrations triggered by price rises and shortages of cash.
He said 14 police bases and more than 100 police cars had been burned around Sudan.
Sudanese authorities have launched a crackdown on opposition leaders, activists and journalists to prevent the spread of protests.
Sudan has been facing a mounting economic crisis over the past year led by an acute shortage of foreign currency.
The cost of food items and medicines has more than doubled and inflation has hit 70 percent.
Food and fuel shortages have been regularly reported across several cities, including Khartoum.
On Monday, crowds of protesters gathered in the Red Sea city of Port Sudan but they were quickly dispersed by riot police, witnesses said.
As the anti-government unrest rumbled on, the first rally backing Bashir was held in the eastern city of Kassala.
Hundreds of people from Kassala and neighboring towns and villages gathered in front of the local governorate to express their support for Bashir.
Several supporters were carrying banners that read "Bashir, we want you to stay", witnesses said.
"We want Bashir as president in order to maintain security in the country," Mohameddin Issa, a resident of Kassala participating in the rally told AFP by telephone.
