South Sudanese raise alarm over stifled freedom of expression

Incident Description

On 3 Nov, 2025-A cross-section of South Sudanese has complained about the lack of freedom of expression, which they say limits their participation in the country’s affairs. They contend their freedom of speech and expression is severely restricted and has deteriorated since independence, with authorities, particularly the National Security Service (NSS), systematically curtailing these rights. While the transitional constitution provides for freedom of expression, it is not respected in practice
