A senior journalist was bailed out after being under police custody for three days without charge.

Juba Monitor Managing editor Michael Koma was arrested on Thursday on the eve of World Press Freedom Day.

The Police told him he would be released when his chief editor Alfred Taban was arrested after he returned from Kenya and did not allow him to consult his lawyer.

Mr Koma said he was arrested after the Juba Monitor printed a statement by the Nuer community accusing the deputy interior minister of involvement in the murder of a traffic policeman in late March.
