The South Sudanese woman allegedly beaten up by security guards assigned to the First Vice President Taban Deng Gai has decided to file a lawsuit against the guards.
Aring Madut was reportedly dragged out of her car on Sunday and was beaten up by security guards assigned to the First Vice President Taban Deng Gai.
The lady was in the car with her mother with the light on when they were stopped after approaching the guards’ station point, according to eyewitnesses.
“I am opening a case against the guards of the First Vice President because of the beating and cocking a gun that was not used and all the humiliation that I and my mum went through,” said Aring Madut on Tuesday.
However, Aring questioned the independence of the country’s justice system. “I know the case will be tempered with but my God in heaven is with me because he is above all the judges. I am more than hurt and I have my demands for all the humiliation, if anything happens to me just know that am being silenced for speaking up,” Aring said.
The South Sudanese woman expressed fear, saying security personnel are now following her movements and monitoring her activities to silence her.
“I have a feeling I am being followed to be intimidated to keep quiet. I rather die than live in lies. I met national security personnel that gave me an intimidating look at BBC restaurant yesterday [Tuesday] when I went for lunch,” she added.
