CEPO in a statement calls on South Sudan political authorities to release Taban because his health condition is critical. “Detention may affect his health. Forgiving Alfred Taban will be great and remarkable action if our state authorities did,” CEPO Director Edmond Yakani stresses. He adds that “we are pleading to our President His Excellency Salva Kiir to forgive Alfred Taban on his health condition. The Director says “Alfred Taban has contributed a lot during our struggle for independence through his journalism role. Whatever mistake he did now, kindly he should be forgiven for it.” Juba Monitor Editor-in-chief Alfred Taban was arrested on Saturday after calling on President Salva Kiir and first vice Riek Machar to step down. -- To post to this group, send email to [email protected] To unsubscribe from this group, send email to [email protected] Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
