'Outrageous' conviction in South Sudan
A South Sudanese court has sentenced prominent economist Peter Biar Ajak to two years in prison for
disturbing the peace because he gave interviews to foreign media. At the time he was already under arrest on treason charges that were subsequently dropped. That's a travesty of justice according to his international lawyer, Jared Genser.
