About 15 Dinka Bor youth, who were arrested by security agents in Jonglei for demanding expulsion of Equatorians working with UN agencies and international NGOs in response to alleged killings targeting members of Dinka ethnic group living in Equatoria region, have been released without charges. The Secretary General of the Bor Youth Association, Philip Ngang, told Radio Tamazuj that the arrested members of the association were released without charges on Saturday.Ngang, who was also among the arrested youth, said they were released because there was no any criminal charge against them according to the country’s constitution. On 28 June, copies of a letter calling for evacuation from Jonglei Equatorians were reportedly distributed in Bor town signed by leaders of the Dinka Bor Youth Association. The alleged group warned that they did not want any Equatorian working in their area within 72 hours or face the consequences in revenge for the alleged death of members of the Dinka community who were killed on Juba-Yei, Juba- Bor and Juba-Nimule roads. However, the state government distanced itself from the letter carrying the threat from the Bor youth body. -- 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.
