By Nyak Simon Lieth: Juba-South Sudan






Six policemen, dressed in non uniform, carrying one Motorola, were involved in torturing one of the form four students almost to death last week in Muniki administration office. The perpetrators who harassed the student were operating in police base adjacent to Nyakuron cultural centre and Juba university computers lab of science
and technology.


Denis Khanis Joseph, erudite: Jonglei national secondary school in
Juba, disclosed his harm and torturing to the citizen, that the student has wounds on his face and arm. He was describing the situation as “public frustration.”


He said, “Human right is not observable, torturing like this can automatically cause a trauma, as soon as his final examination kickoff comes November. Why do our police fail to respect students’ dignity?”


This is harmful torturing that can contribute towards failure in exams.


He complimented, policemen had tortured him because he attempted to
chase one of his fellow South Sudanese, a business lady called Nura
Abdullah, who rented his house as a local restaurant with three
hundred Sudanese pounds (300 SDG) per month. Nura embarrassed him; as an
uncooperative business person who encourages alcoholism in privileged
business restaurant where he grantee her to operate.


Denis narrated: he used to advise women to get rid of shish and
alcoholism which always brings internal issues between them and the
police. The policemen eventually came drunk until they totally and perhaps anonymously emerged with puzzling criminality against him.


He noted when that woman violated to implementation of the compromised rules;
after couple of months, he decided to let Nura go. This was due to her
indiscipline against his rules and regulations of not keeping the
peaceful atmosphere between her customers and the ownership.


Joseph accused the police, “As the main organ of human right abuses
and manipulates the rights of the citizens, it is not applicable to public
finger.”


He appealed to the government of South Sudan, to employ literate
police who could be able to read the amendment of national laws to
respect the nation's dignity and sustenance of individual principles. He
further condemned the police, not to be influential and interfere
with civilian affairs.


Khanis reiterated any police who doesn't know their roles, while
serving the citizens, is great lost to the new nation which is to be
born nevertheless. According to Khanis, Police are important people with accountabilities in the government. They are supposed to follow up the right procedures,
maintain laws and order and protect citizens’ rights not
harassment.


He argued government to enhance police capacity building in order for
them to understand their roles in public services. This is viewed that abuse of human
rights can simply cause tribalism, injustice and rare democracy.
