Ajak Mayol: "My client Karbino Wol is being prosecuted is charges related to a prison riot.”

Ajak Mayol is the lawyer representing Karbino Wol and other clients among the seven individuals prosecuted by the National Security Service in South Sudan. According to Ajak, some of the clients have been in the National Security prison for more than a year without being charged. The prosecution is now focusing on the cases related to the recent prison riot. It is, however, said that these suspects might face more charges even if they were to win this case. What is not clear now is why they were these people arrested in the first place? To understand all these, we contacted Karbino Wol’s lawyer Ajak Mayol from Juba.
