Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The Executive Director of the Community Empowerment for Progress Organization (CEPO), Edmund Yakani, is appealing to President Salva Kiir Mayardit to help locate and secure the release of missing activist Biar Ajak Marol.<\/p>\n

Marol, who is the Executive Director of Junubin Chronicles, disappeared under unclear circumstances on October 4 in the capital, Juba. His car was found parked near the newly constructed Freedom Bridge along the Nile River.<\/p>\n

Jacob Bil Kur, co-founder and program manager at Junubin Chronicles, told Sudans Post late last month that a press conference they organized to help appeal to the public to assist in the search efforts was disrupted by the National Security Service (NSS).<\/p>\n

In a statement extended this afternoon, Yakani appealed to Kiir to help in the efforts to secure the release of the activist, whose place of detention remains unknown.<\/p>\n

\u201cCEPO is sincerely urging the president to help in seeking the safety and security of our younger brothers, Biar Ajak Marol and Morris Mabor, who have both been missing for a long time now,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt is sad that we have made our own fellow citizens disappear at a young age in a painful manner. Even if they are in conflict with the law, it is before to allow the legal due process to take its course in a transparent and accountable manner, rather than acting arbitrarily on the fate of their lives before their respective families,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n

He said that \u201cwhat happened to brothers Biar Ajak Marol and Morris Mabor remains on the painful list of our brother Samuel Dong and the act of the Sudan regime government of extrajudicial killing of South Sudanese as a sign of oppression, marginalization, and discrimination.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis practice should be abolished under our own government, where we fought differently for independence. Why should we describe our being independent from the previous Sudan government by an act of making our own citizens disappear or be killed extraordinarily, just like by the previous Sudan governments?\u201d<\/p>\n
