Lord Goldsmith of Richmond Park
Minister of State (Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office)
The UK Charge d'Affaires in Juba met with the Chair of the Union of Journalists for South Sudan and has publicly called for due process to be followed in the case of six members of South Sudan Broadcasting Corporation staff being detained. We consistently raise the importance of freedom of expression and of the media, and the need to adhere to fair legal processes, with the Government of South Sudan.
