URGENT ACTION FORMER GOVERNOR DETAINED WITHOUT CHARGE ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Joseph Bakosoro was removed as governor of Western Equatoria state in August 2015 by President Salva Kiir, together with the governors of Central Equatoria (Clement Wani), Warrap (Nyadeng Malek) and Upper Nile (Simon Kun Poch) states. Joseph Bakosoro was detained for five days immediately after being removed from office. According to family members, he was detained in the Giyada military barracks in Juba, where he was beaten and his arms and legs tied. The reason for his arrest remains unclear. Even though Joseph Bakasoro has not been charged, family members believe he has been detained due to his suspected links with the Arrow Boys, an armed local defence force originally formed to protect local communities from attacks by the Lord’s Resistance Army. In the second half of 2015, these community defence forces increasingly came into confrontations with Dinka cattle herders and government soldiers. The Transitional Constitution of South Sudan (TCSS) of 2011 mandates the NSS to ‘focus on information gathering, analysis and advice to the relevant authorities’ and established the civilian police service as the only law enforcement authority in South Sudan. Despite this provision, the NSS have for a long time gone outside their mandate and performed policing functions. In October 2014, a National Security Service bill passed by the South Sudan National Legislative Assembly sought to give the NSS extensive and broad powers of arrest, detention and seizure without adequate safeguards against abuse. The bill does not specify permissible detention sites or guarantee basic due process rights, such as the right to counsel or to be tried within a reasonable period of time as guaranteed by the TCSS. In March 2015, the Justice Minister announced that the Bill, passed by the Legislative Assembly on October 8 2014, had become law. This is despite domestic and international opposition to its passage, the absence of the President’s signature, its unconstitutionality and other views rejecting this position.
