The first victim of rape on the terrain attack in July last year has testified today before the court martial.

The victim who was only identified as a female European national appeared in a close session.

The SPLA deputy spokesperson, Col Santo Domic described the session as “tough and informative”.

He could not give more details.

The victim is one of five others who were sexually assaulted by SPLA soldiers at the Terrain Hotel during the violence in Juba in July 2016.

Other two witnesses are expected to appear before the court on 25 October.

This was the 13 hearing, which was presided over by Judge Knight Bryano.
