Sudanese Journalists Union rejects violation of correspondents' rights in Juba

 

Khartoum, Oct. 7 (SUNA)- The Sudanese Journalists' Union has categorically rejected subjecting a number of media correspondents to mistreatment and violation of their rights by security elements belonging to United Nations at Juba Airport

 

The Union said in a press statement that forcing the correspondent of Reuters, Mohammed Nour-Eddin, to get out of the plane leaving for Darfur, accompanying the Security Council delgation, together with the other correspondents of XINHUA and the BBC, and throwing his equipment and preventing him from traveling was a rejected conduct and considered an aggression and violation that was committed in front of the Head of UN Mission in Sudan and members of Security Council, while they were preparing to leave for Darfur

 

The Sudanese Journalists Union called on the Information Minister in the Government of South Sudan (GoSS) to hold accountable those violators who prevented the correspondents from covering the visit of the UN Security Council's delegation to Darfur states
