South Sudan Should Probe Journalist’s Murder, Group Says

South Sudanese authorities should investigate the killing of journalist Isaiah Abraham, an outspoken critic of the government, the New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists and his brother said.

Abraham was shot dead early yesterday after receiving a death threat by phone a week earlier, said William Chan, his brother. The callers told Abraham in Arabic that he should “stop writing or they will get rid of him,” he said by phone today from Juba, South Sudan’s capital.
