JUBA – South Sudan’s National Security Service (NSS) has on Tuesday detained a lawyer who works for a local advocate company and released him today without charges, several sources have told Sudans Post this evening.

Lawyer Kuoch Malek Deng who works for the Juba-based Yom Yom & Co. Advocate was arrested on Tuesday in Juba after he appeared at the NSS headquarters following a summon by the security body, according to a relative.

“Yesterday, the national security called lawyer Kuoch Malek Deng to their office in Juba. They then arrested him and interrogated him but they told him not to reveal what he has been detained for to teh media,” the relative told Sudans Post from Juba on condition of anonymity.

“So, I will not tell you why he was arrested,” the relative insisted.

South Sudan National Security has in recent months increased  its operations against critics. Journalists and activisists have been either detained, threatened or forced to leave the country.

Malek’s detention came a week after the government in Juba announced that it has run out of hard currency making it unable to control the foreign reserve exchange rate in the country’s parellel market.

Malek has suggested the replacement of teh finance minister as well as the governor of teh Central Bank.
