Center for Democracy and Development in Yei is calling for justice to perpetrators who shot St Bakhita medical doctor.
 
The Centre Program Officer, Dara Felix, condemns the unlawful and ‘the barbaric act’ against the doctor, Radio Easter reports.
 
He demands law enforcement agents to protect the civil population.
 
Dara says the army needs to be taken away from the town to avoid creating fear to the residents.
 
He calls on the transitional government to resolve the cantonment of forces to get rid of those moving with guns unnecessarily.
 
Sister Veronica Rackova, who is a medical doctor of St Bakhita health centre, was shot on by soldiers on her way back from Harvester’s Health Centre at 01:00 AM on Monday.
 
On Monday, Sister Veronica was flown to Nairobi, Kenya for treatment where a second operation was performed.
 
Her condition was reported to be serious, but stable.
 
Yei State authorities confirmed three arrests later.
