In tears: Journalist detained for reporting US sanctions on Taban says he will leave the country

File: Journalist Ijoo

TORIT – South Sudan radio journalist who has been detained for almost one week has said he will now leave the country because he has not room to exercise his job there.

Journalist Ijoo Mosco who works for the Voice of Eastern Equatoria Radio was jailed in South Sudan’s Torit State last week for reporting sanctions against South Sudan’s First Vice President Taban Deng Gai.

In a statement this afternoon,the state governor’s press secretary, Oringa John Godfrey, told Radio Tamazuj that journalist Ijoo Bosco walked free Thursday from jail.

Godfrey claimed Mr. Ijoo, an employee of the Voice of Eastern Equatoria Radio, was imprisoned for failing to broadcast a story on the assembling of military forces in Magwi County. “The journalist was released after investigations. Ijoo said he is very sorry for what had happened,” he said.

On Saturday, credible sources told Radio Tamazuj that Mr. Ijoo was arrested by security agents on Friday evening shortly after airing a story about the United States sanctions on First Vice President Taban Deng Gai for his role in serious human rights abuse.

South Sudan ranks 139 out of 180 countries on the Reporters Without Borders (RSF) 2019 global press freedom index.
