She was jailed for insulting and disparaging the name of former Warrap state Minister of Information, Nyenagwek Kuol, who is currently the SPLM-IO nominee for deputy minister of interior.
According to the court, Amira is not going to serve her jail terms immediately due to her deteriorating health condition.
“The accused Amira Ali Thomas is here sentenced to 6 months in jail for defamation under Article 289 of the Penal Code of South Sudan 2008 and with a fine of 100,000 SSP and pay 35 million SSP as compensation,” the presiding judge read out the verdict on Monday.
Dr. Ajak Makoor, the husband of Nyenagwek Kuol described the court verdict as “justifiable and relieving.”
“The verdict of the court was so justifiable and relieving because the words that were said against my family were so insulting and hurting,” Dr. Makoor told reporters after the court verdict.
“She is going to be in prison that is why I am not happy, she was given six months without being effective and the fine is 100,000 SSP for the court and 35 million SSP as compensation for the family,” he added.
He said the judgment of the court will serve as a lesson for the rest that defaming people is not a business.
“For those who want to defame other people, this will be a lesson that is like other countries, defamation is a crime punishable by law,” he said.
Achuil Kuol, Mama Amira’s defense lawyer described the judgment as fair for both sides
“She is in a bad health condition, she has been sentenced to six months, and on the implementation of the verdict, she will not serve jail term now as she is under treatment,” Kuol said.

She is just an online or Facebook ‘mama Amira’. Just look at that picture, she want to be brown woman. Probably those women in the ‘picture’ are the ones who want our daughters or young women to ‘bleach their skins’ to look white or brown.
This culture of making your skin as much as beautiful’ has been in here our Nilotic plains and Valleys since the beginner of times, My little sisters have smooth skins and they are black women and they are way well than most of white or brown skins people, and they are respected by their peers.
Young m omen are given a lot stress to be ‘like what is always seen ads or television social media’ That they should be ‘like the photo the have seen in social media or TV’.
Women know the games, than the boys. Women are well ahead boys. My little sisters sometimes used to gang up with us,the boys and mum thought it was a good idea. Well, it works for them and and us, but. Unfortunately, boys are killed in the war.
In middle East, there are people who love to whiten their skins, ‘our Egypt’ is the most glaring example of that cheap practice. Saudi Arabia or all gulf Arab states to be precise. India, Pakistan, Bangladesh, up to right South Korea. Women bleach themselves to make themselves beautiful.
I am not a medical doctor, but my little sisters I described their skins above, are medical doctors. Young women in South Sudan and other countries, should just walk their heads high and be women, and get away with it. Women are just the same like everyone else.
Women around the world think, they have been bullied by boys around worlds, they are fighting back. Katiba banet (women) battalions, were the ones who helped bomb our cloned so-called Arab criminals out of El Kurmuk [two], Blue Nile. Watch out fools,>>>
