Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>A leading South Sudanese civil society and rights body has said it is perturbed by the emerging trend of cyber-attacks on media houses and their social media handles.<\/p>\n

The Community Empowerment for Progress Organization\u2019s (CEPO) executive director, Edmund Yakani, in a statement on Thursday evening strongly condemned the attacks.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO is strongly disturbed by the recent negative developments towards online media outlets and their social media platforms,\u201d he said. \u201cWe strongly condemn the individuals or groups of persons perpetrating these negative and unlawful acts which constitute a violation of freedom of expression by engaging in the hacking of social media platforms.\u201d<\/p>\n

Yakani said it is a bad indicator that in less than a month, two online media houses\u2019 social media platforms have been hacked.<\/p>\n

\u201cSudans Post’s official Facebook account was hacked two weeks ago and now 16 February, Radio Tamazuj’s official Twitter handle is hacked. These negative developments are disturbing especially now when the country is undergoing a political transitional process around constitution making, conduct of elections, and transitional justice,\u201d he said. \u201cThese political processes require observation or respect for freedom of expression and free media.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cFinally, CEPO is urging donors to invest funds in strengthening media outlets\u2019 digital security and safety,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
