Media rights groups have called for South Sudanese authorities to release six journalists detained after footage was leaked reportedly showing President Salva Kiir urinating on himself.

South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir attends the departure ceremony of the South Sudan People’s Defence Forces as they are deployed to the Democratic Republic of Congo at the SSPDF Headquarters in Juba on December 28, 2022. – South Sudan will send 750 soldiers to the eastern Democratic Republic of Congo soon to join a regional force fighting a rebel offensive, a military spokesman said Wednesday.

They are under investigation over a video that went viral on social media in December, which appeared to show Kiir urinating on himself at an official function, according to the reports, the New York-based CPJ said in a statement issued late Friday. “Authorities should unconditionally release these six SSBC employees and ensure that they can work without further intimidation or threat of arrest.”

“If there is a prima facie case of professional misconduct or offence then let authorities expedite an administrative or legal process to address the issue in a fair, transparent and in accordance with the law,” it said in a statement on Friday.

Hope this is not going to happen to Nigeria journalist when the time comes

The President should stop urinating on himself at public functions, so that no journalists would report it. Better still, the President should resign & go take care of his frail health...African dictators & their ways!!!
