International Committee of the Red Cross is training police in Yei River State on human rights ethics.
The workshop targets 180 police officers: 100 on Tuesday and another 80 on Wednesday, Radio Easter reports.
State Police Commissioner Yoasa Lujang Kamba says Yei has a lot of challenges of crimes against humanity.
There are violence, abuses against civilians, war crimes and other crimes, but they have reduced, he adds.
Commissioner Lujang testifies that churches are full every Sunday because religious leaders in Yei decided to die together with their people in the state.
Cyril Jaurena, ICRC Equatoria head of office, says the training was focusing on protection of human rights and how the police work to protect civilians.
The speakers talked during the opening session of the two-day human rights workshop.
