Government admits widespread human rights violations South Sudan’s Minster of Justice, Paulino Wanawilla Onago, has admitted that widespread human rights violations have been committed during the ongoing civil war.
Speaking to reporters at Juba airport upon his arrival from a meeting organized by the UN Human Rights Commission in Geneva last week, Wanawilla said government troops and opposition fighters have committed atrocities in the country. He further said rape victims prefer to report to international organizations instead of the government, saying that no one can deny that there are human rights violations in the country. The government official pointed out that the government is able to prosecute the perpetrators but the victims fear to report their cases to the government. -- To post to this group, send email to southsudankob@googlegroups.com To unsubscribe from this group, send email to southsudankob+unsubscr...@googlegroups.com Visit this group at https://groups.google.com/d/forum/southsudankob View this message at https://groups.google.com/d/msg/southsudankob/topic-id/message-id For more options, visit https://groups.google.com/d/optout --- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "South Sudan Info - The Kob" group.
