“The government needs to acknowledge that people are still missing and take concrete steps to investigate and hold those responsible to account.” As a teen in the late 1990s, Richard Lokeya and his family were refugees, fleeing from the decades-long war in southern Sudan. He became a Canadian citizen, and in his early 30s, he was studying law in Ontario while occasionally visiting his parents in South Sudan, which gained independence in 2011.
On Aug. 22, according to a witness who spoke later to South Sudanese media, Mr. Lokeya and his friends were strangled and dumped into the Nile River. But South Sudan’s authorities never acknowledged their deaths.
