You cannot just arrest a journalist over an opinion from any citizen; Information Commissioner challenges security agents in South Sudan.
Nicodemus Ajak Bior, the Information Commissioner cautions security apparatus that it is not their role to arrest them.
He tells authorities to follow legal procedures.
Ajak says the Information Commission sees that all government institutions are submissive to the law.
He also cautions journalists against incitement.
Everyone has a right to freedom of opinion, freedom of expression and freedom to seek information without any interference, Lydia Gachungi, UNESCO Communication Specialist quotes from the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
She says having media laws in place is not enough, but doubling efforts to ensure that the right to freedom of expression and information becomes a living reality for South Sudanese.
