South Sudan Human Rights Monitor

30 September 2019

Civilians in South Sudan continue to be displaced and suffer from widespread human rights abuses and crimes, including sexual and gender-based, political, and ethnic violence. These human rights violations and crimes have been ongoing since the beginning of the conflict in South Sudan. During this reporting period, local monitors working anonymously in the Northern and Southern Liech States (Unity States), Jubek and Yei River States (Central Equatoria), Central Upper Nile State (Upper Nile State), and Wau State (Western Bahr el Ghazal) have detailed at least 15 human rights abuses and crimes against civilians, including incidents of rape, sexual violence, killing, torture, abduction, ill-treatment, forced disappearance, forced displacement, and arbitrary arrest and detention. Our last Newsletter covered events that occurred between 1 March to 30 June 2019. This Newsletter addresses incidents recorded by local monitors from 1 July to 30 August 2019.
