Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>Koch County Police inspector Brig Gen Tut Wal Dang has warned aid workers attached with humanitarian organizations to respect their code of conduct and stop spreading \u201cfalse information\u201d.<\/p>\n

He made the statement after Koch County police released a humanitarian worker yesterday after being detained for three days.<\/p>\n

The aid worker identified as Makuach Phal Tang and working with the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) was arrested for condemning the violence that happened in Leer, southern Unity State.<\/p>\n

Phal was accused of disseminating information for which has no factual evidence according to the authorities.<\/p>\n

Koch County Police officer Brig Gen Tut Wal Dang said Phal was arrested because of being involved in politics challenging and condemning Koch commissioner about Leer incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe released Mr. Makuach Phal Tang he is a humanitarian worker working for UNIDO as a child protection officer, there is no need for him to get involved in the politics,\u201d Wal was quoted by Juba Echo to have said.<\/p>\n

The officer told humanitarian workers in Unity State to stop condemning government about what happened in southern Unity.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is an earlier warning, I advise humanitarian workers to stop social media disinformation, writing propaganda against police and commissioners. Humanitarian workers have their own code of conducts and they should also respect the law and order,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cHe was arrested because he was involved in the politics condemning commissioner in social media about Leer and Mirmir fighting and he has no evidence,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The relatives of Phal confirmed his release.<\/p>\n

Leer County of Unity State has been hit by spates of violence that displaced thousands and killed hundreds. The Sudan People Liberation Movement in Opposition has blamed the commissioner of Koch County for masterminding conflict.<\/p>\n

The conflict also compelled President Salva Kiir to set up a committee to investigate the conflict.<\/p>\n

In an interview earlier with Sudans Post, the Executive Director of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), Edmund Yakani, called on the head of UN Human Rights Commission in South Sudan, Yasmin Sooker to send a delegation to investigate the violence.<\/p>\n
