Mam Pal Denies Sharing Information Related To The Nasir Incident as Dr. Riek Machar Trial Continues

-


Mam Pal Dhoul, one of the accused in the ongoing trial involving suspended First Vice President Riek Machar and other members of the SPLM-IO, has denied allegations that he shared information related to the Nasir incident with fellow suspects or local youth leaders.

‎

‎Appearing before the Special Court in Juba, Dhoul rejected claims that he passed information to co-accused Puot Kang Chol or youth groups in Upper Nile State. 

‎

‎Mam Pal Dhuol argued that the accusations were not supported by any witness testimony and were based solely on findings presented by a digital forensic expert.

‎

‎Dhoul told the court that he is a businessman and has never worked as an intelligence officer, making it unlikely that he would be involved in collecting or distributing sensitive information.

‎

‎He also disputed allegations that he circulated a list of people killed during the Nasir violence. According to Dhoul, the messages presented as evidence were fabricated while his mobile phones were in the custody of investigators.

‎

‎The accused maintained his innocence throughout the hearing and urged the court to disregard what he described as unsubstantiated claims.

‎

‎The Special Court adjourned the proceedings until June 10, when the trial is expected to continue with further hearings.

‎

‎The case remains one of the most closely watched legal proceedings in South Sudan, involving several senior SPLM-IO figures accused in connection with events surrounding the unrest in Nasir County, Upper Nile State.
