UNMIS asks for immediate release of 6 staff arrested in Kadugli Thursday, 23 June 2011 15:48 Sudan >>> The United Nations Mission in Sudan (UNMIS), has called for the immediate release of six of its national staff, who were arrested on Wednesday from Kadugli airport. The six were arrested while they were being relocated to Wau, a statement from UNMIS said.
Condemning the arrest of the six by Military Intelligence, UNMIS said it violated the Status of Force Agreement (SOFA), which was signed by the Government of Sudan. The agreement states that the Government is obliged to present the UN Special Representative of the Secretary- General with evidence prior to taking any legal action against any UNMIS staff, national or international, including arresting them. UNMIS is very concerned about the safety and security of the arrested staff members, the statement added. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
