Seven youths from Jonglei State who were arrested in Juba by national security officials have finally been released, a community leader said.
Deng Dau Deng, deputy chairperson of the greater Bor community, told Radio Tamazuj on Tuesday that seven youth were released on Sunday.
“All the arrested youth from Bor have been released without charge because they were arrested for administrative issues. Three people were released last month and seven others were released two days ago,” Dau said.
Dau, who is also a lawmaker in Juba, said the youth were released to give the national dialogue process a chance.
Multiple sources said earlier that the arrested youths were deemed critical of Kiir’s administration.
