court_justiceThe high court has suspended the hearing of the case against Major General Marial Nuor Jok - the director of Public Security and Criminal Investigation Department (CID) who was arrested last month. The presiding judge, Malek Mathian Malek, pushed the hearing for next Monday pending on a review of the charges against the accused. Jok's defence lawyer has challenged the basis on which his client was arrested. Speaking to journalists following the first sitting, Kiir Chol said the detention was illegal and contrary to South Sudan's transitional constitution. The South Sudan inspector of police Lieutenant General Achuil Tito Madut ordered the arrest of Major General Marial Nuor Jok last July. Five charges were made against Jok , including involvement in the disappearance of engineer John Louis after a land dispute. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "JFD info" group.
