The High Court has ordered authorities not to deport two South Sudanese dissidents who activists said had been detained by police this week. Police have yet to say if they have detained Dong Samuel, a human rights advocate who has been a vocal critic of South Sudan's government, and another South Sudanese opposition figure Aggrey Idri. South Sudan's conflict erupted in December 2013, and has rumbled on since despite a 2015 peace deal that failed to stick. Kenya deported South Sudanese opposition spokesman James Gatdet Dak in November 2016 to South Sudan, even though he had refugee status.
