JUBA: Security forces in war-torn South Sudan released yesterday a reporter after four days in detention for reporting rebel views, colleagues said.
Bakhita Radio news editor Ocen David Nicholas was arrested on Saturday “for balancing a news story”, the station said, with security forces shutting down the station. Ocen was released last afternoon, colleagues said, although the station remained off air. The Juba-based radio, run by the Roman Catholic Church as part of a network of community-run stations, is one of the country’s main independent radio stations.
