Africa-Press – South-Sudan. <\/strong><\/span>The US embassy in South Sudan has reaffirmed that all journalists in the country must be guaranteed the ability to report without fear of harassment, attacks, or arbitrary detention.<\/p>\n

The embassy expressed the sentiments in a press release in recognition of the International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists on Saturday.<\/p>\n

The embassy also called for a credible investigation into the 2017 death of Christopher Allen, the American\u2010British who was killed while working as a journalist during South Sudan\u2019s civil war.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe renew our call for a credible investigation that leads to accountability for the 2017 death of Christopher Allen, the dual national American\u2010British citizen who was killed while working as a journalist during South Sudan\u2019s civil war,\u201d reads the press release.<\/p>\n

The International Day to End Impunity for Crimes against Journalists is a UN-recognized international day observed annually on November 2.<\/p>\n

The day draws attention to the level of impunity for crimes against journalists, which remains extremely high globally.<\/p>\n

The Paris-based Reporters Without Borders have this year ranked South Sudan 136th on the World Press.<\/p>\n

The position represents a fall of 18 positions within year. South Sudan ranked at position 118 in the 2023 report.<\/p>\n
