Activist imprisonment
A court in Aweil sentenced an activist, Samuel Garang Dut, to eight months in prison for making false statements against Northern Bahr el Ghazal State governor.
Garang Mangok, the presiding judge, found Samuel Garang Dut guilty of libel and slander.
He was also ordered to pay a fine of two million South Sudanese Pounds to Tong Aken.
Garang was ordered to court by Governor Tong after the activist took pictures of a modern building constructed in Juba and claimed it belonged to Governor Aken.[2]
