The governor of Eastern Equatoria State Louis Lobong Lojore on Saturday released 17 members of the Monyiemiji Forum arrested by the national security on Thursday.
More than 20 youth were arrested when they stormed the national security offices in Torit demanding the release of their two colleagues but most of them ended up behind bars. This came after protests on Wednesday where they issued an ultimatum for NGOs to evacuate the three counties of Torit, Ikotos, and Lopit within 72 hours claiming that their grievances were not resolved.
