Anti-Riot and regular police forces on Saturday blocked Women Constituency Dialogue at Torit East Primary School, Eastern Equatoria state.
The police condoned the school premises and denied people access and told participants to leave the premises since it was under security control, Radio Emmanuel reported.State minister for Public Administration and Internal Affairs, Claudio Suleiman Liling, said the meeting was illegal.
He said the police was deployed to stop the dialogue because the organizers did not get government permission to assemble at the premises.
Mr Liling condemned an announcement placed on a local FM Radio to invite participants, saying Information minister was not notified on the meeting.
South Sudanese Network for Democracy and Elections (SSuNDE) organized the Dialogue to bring national and state women legislators together.
