Richard Mogga, New Times Editor Picked Up By Security Forces in Juba
The editor of the New Times, South Sudan Leading Independent Newspaper has been picked up by people claiming to belong the Police and we have not heard anything from him and his whereabouts are still unknown. His phone line is off. Please do whatever you can do to find out about him. A country where journalists can disappear into police custody without charges is not the South Sudan we all deserve. Please let us tell our leaders not to allow our young and beloved country taint its good name with such actions…Source: Jok Madut’s Facebook page
Update: The New Times editor, Richard Mogga, is reported to have been released without charges. Thank you for your great concern and support for freedom of the press and of expression in the republic of South Sudan. PaanLuel Wel.
