Activists who organized the anti-government protest in South Sudan’s capital, Juba, on Monday , said dozens had been arrested and detained at facilities manned by the National Security Services (NSS).In a statement released from Nairobi on Tuesday and extended to Sudan Tribune, the group secretary general did not mention the total number of arrests that had been made but claimed incidents of torture and other abuses took place. “What took place following the protests on May 8, 2017, involving the NSS and other organize forces towards Juba University students and activist who were suppressed, tortured and detained in unknown locations was unconstitutional and deserves serious condemnation from all civil organizations,” read a statement signed by one Secretary general Jameson. According to Brig. Daniel Justin who was trying to downplay the protests stated that the protest was quickly suppressed by the police and security forces that were deployed to the streets on Monday.
