AWEIL, South Sudan, Aug. 3, 2024 — The South Sudanese government continues to violate human rights and abuse children, with young teenagers reportedly chained in a prison in Aweil. The victims, identified as orphans from the Mathiang Anyoor group, suffer under the regime’s oppressive measures.
Local reports indicate that these teenagers have been subjected to inhumane treatment and are being held without proper legal procedures. Advocacy groups are calling for immediate international intervention to protect these vulnerable children and ensure their release.
The South Sudanese authorities have yet to respond to these allegations. Further investigations are ongoing as human rights organizations urge for accountability and justice for the victims.
