A rights group calls for the immediate release of Pathomi Ayul, a South Sudanese journalist who spent more than three months in detention since his arrest in Juba in May. He is still being held by national security officials without charges. Civilians for Peace and Justice (CPJ), a human rights entity in South Sudan, said in a statement today that journalist Pathomi Ayul should either be charged with a recognised offence and presented before a competent court or immediately released. CPJ’s head Modo Philip said Ayul’s family members have not been able to see him or know anything about his health conditions in detention. He called on international human rights organizations and journalists’ union in the country to advocate for Pathomi’s release. According to Civilians for Peace and Justice, Pathomi who was working for Al-Masar Arabic newspaper in Juba, was arrested by national security officials on May 20. -- 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.
