Amnesty International urges South Sudan’s President Salva Kiir to send the National Security Service Act 2014 (Amendment) Bill 2024 back to parliament for review and significant amendment. The bill that passed parliament on 3 July 2024 risks undermining human rights and strengthening the National Security Service (NSS)’s abusive powers. Under it, the NSS would retain the power to arrest people with or without an arrest warrant.
