 AU urges de-escalation as fighting displaces over 180,000 in South Sudan’s Jonglei state The Chairperson of the African Union Commission called for immediate de-escalation and strict adherence to South Sudan’s 2018 peace agreement, as renewed fighting in Jonglei State displaced more than 180,000 people and raised fears of further civilian harm. In a statement, African Union Commission Chairperson Mahmoud Ali Youssouf said he was deeply concerned by the deteriorating security situation in parts of the country, particularly Jonglei, where escalating violence and inflammatory rhetoric have put civilians—including women and children—at heightened risk. South Sudanese authorities estimate the number of displaced in Jonglei at more than 180,000, the United Nations humanitarian agency OCHA said last week. He urged all parties to exercise maximum restraint, de-escalate tensions immediately, and comply fully with the permanent ceasefire and power-sharing arrangements under the agreement, T...

THE SUPREME COURT OF INDIA HAS PUT ON HOLD THE BAIL GRANTED TO FORMER BJP LEGISLATOR KULDEEP SINGH SENGAR IN THE 2017 UNNAO RAPE CASE.(PHOTO).


 The Supreme Court of India has put on hold the bail granted to former BJP legislator Kuldeep Singh Sengar in the 2017 Unnao rape case.

 The apex court will continue hearing the matter in January, effectively pausing the relief given to Sengar by the Delhi High Court last month.


The Supreme Court is examining a petition filed by the Central Bureau of Investigation challenging the Delhi High Court order that suspended Sengar’s life sentence. On December 23, the High Court had cited the fact that Sengar had already spent over seven years in prison while granting the suspension of sentence.


Sengar was convicted for the kidnapping and r&pe of a minor survivor in Unnao, a case that had triggered nationwide outrage and raised serious questions about the misuse of political power. The life sentence was awarded after a trial monitored closely by the judiciary due to the sensitivity of the case.


Despite the High Court’s order, Sengar continues to remain behind bars as he is also serving a separate ten year sentence in the custodial death case of the survivor’s father. Bail has not been granted to him in that matter.


The Supreme Court’s decision to pause the bail has been seen as a significant development, reflecting continued judicial scrutiny in one of the country’s most closely watched criminal cases. The outcome of the January hearing is expected to have a decisive impact on the future course of the proceedings.
