A South Sudanese journalist working for the state-run South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation (SSBC) has been arrested by the National Security Service (NSS) for allegedly refusing to anchor news on presidential decrees on the reconstitution of the Transitional Council of State.
Speaking to Sudans Post exclusively on Wednesday evening, an SSBC employee who refused not to be named said journalist Alfred Angasi Dominic was arrested after he requested to be given a day off because his wife was sick which he said was translated by some colleagues as a refusal to read the news on the president’s decrees.
“He was arrested almost three weeks ago because he was taken as if he was refusing to anchor news on the decrees for the appointment of the members of the Council of State. His wife was sick and he requested a day off, but they thought he was refusing to read the presidential decree and then a few days later he was arrested,” the SSBC employee told Sudans Post on condition of anonymity.
