BENTIU, OCTOBER 21, 2023 (SUDANS POST) – The police commissioner in Unity State is urged journalists to report harassment by security agencies to his office and promised to protect the right to access of information.

Speaking to journalists during a press briefing in Bentiu on Thursday, Maj. Gen. Gordon Machar Yieh expressed his happiness saying it is his first time to meet and brief journalists about the security situation in the floods-affected state.

“I am very happy and it’s my first time to have meeting with journalists in Unity State. Please feel free to cover government events and community events. Journalists and police are friends, and we should work together for the future of this country,” he said.

The top state police officer stressed that journalists have the right to access information under article 32 and 26 of the 2011 South Sudan transitional constitution.
