The father of a South Sudanese journalist says unknown gunmen killed his
son on the outskirts of the capital, Juba, in an attack that came days
after President Salva Kiir was reported to have threatened to kill
reporters "working against the country."
Julius Kilong Ramoi said Thursday his son, Peter Julius Moi,
a reporter
for the Corporate Weekly, was shot twice in the back Wednesday night.
The international Journalists' rights group Committee to Project
Journalist quoted Kiir as threatening journalists on Sunday. Moi was
shot dead near South Sudan's only brewery which had been the subject
articles he had written recently.
Moi is the seventh journalist to be killed in South Sudan this year.
