Human Rights Watch acuses National Security of torure, unlawful detention

Human Rights Watch has accused the South Sudan’s military and National Security Service of unlawfully detaining dozens of civilians, some for as long as 10 months. According to a report released today (http://goo.gl/cfb7W6), they claim detainees, often accused of supporting South Sudanese rebels, have been kept in poor conditions, and in some instances tortured or brutally beaten. Skye Wheeler, Human Rights watch researcher for South Sudan, says all instances of torture, cruel, or inhuman or degrading treatment should be investigated and punished by law.
