INSULT & DEFAMATION LAW (SOUTH SUDAN)

“Freedom of expression is a constitutional right in South Sudan, but it is not absolute. The law draws a clear line between expressing an opinion and insulting or defaming another person.
Under the Penal Code Act, 2008, the State criminalizes words and actions that unlawfully damage a person’s reputation, dignity, or public standing. This includes insults, false allegations, defamatory publications, and offensive statements made in public or through the media.
Sections 289 to 292, together with other related provisions, set out the offences, penalties, and exceptions relating to defamation and insulting conduct. These laws apply equally to spoken words, written statements, printed materials, and social media platforms.
Understanding these provisions is essential for journalists, social media users, public speakers, and every citizen who exercises freedom of speech in South Sudan
