Tombura-Yambio Catholic Bishop appeals for the release of former Western Equatoria State Governor, Bangasi Joseph Bakosoro from undefined detention.
Ex-governor Bakosoro has been in detention without charge in Juba for more than three months now, Radio Anisa reports.
Bishop Barani Eduardo Hiiboro says the detention of ex-governor Bakosoro is lack of respect for the people of Western Equatoria who love him very much as a leader.
The bishop says Western Equatoria is wondering whether ex-governor Bakosoro is really alive.
Bring those in detention for trial for the general public to understand their crimes, Bishop Hiiboro appeals.
Even those who were accused of alleged failed coup attempt were brought to court, why not Bakosoro if his case is related, Bishop Hiiboro asks.
Where is the general amnesty pronounced by President Salva Kiir? He asks.
Bishop Hiiboro reveals that government is killing anybody who talks about Bakosoro in Western Equatoria.
Colonel Bakosoro was elected the Governor of Western Equatoria State as an independent candidate in 2010.
President Kiir through his recurrent decrees removed Colonel Bakosoro from the elected position in August 2015 without any known reason.
