The launch was done at the SPLM-IO headquarters in Aweil, at Malour Awer and was attended by the secretary-general, the national minister of health and the speaker of the council of states,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>The senior opposition official who said he was in Juba when the launch completed said that senior officials who were beaten and arrested earlier today have been released, but party officials in the counties were unable to attend as they were prevented to travelled to Aweil by heavily armed security forces deployed in the streets.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe two national ministers, the state minister of sports, and the two members of states parliament as well as others who were arrested earlier today have been released. But the officials such as the county chairperson have not attended the function because they were prevented from coming to Aweil town for launch of the party by the security forces deployed in the streets,\u201d the official further said.<\/p>\n<p>A Sudans Post reporter in Aweil said most journalists were prevented from attending the function by the National Security Service in the state and were threatened that they would be considered members of the SPLM-IO and be arrested should they cover the function.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor me I did not attend, we were threatened by the national security service here in Northern Bahr el Ghazal that those who will go to the function will be considered a member of the SPLM-IO and will be jailed and that\u2019s why I and the colleagues I known have not attended it,\u201d he said on condition of anonymity for fear of reprisal.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/south-sudan\">South-Sudan<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; South-Sudan.
