An official of the Diocese of Wau, in South Sudan, has been arrested.

No public explanation was given for the arrest of Natalina Andrea Mabu, the coordinator of the diocesan justice-and-peace commission. But a local radio station reported that she was under investigation after three military officers died, and 57 were hospitalized, because of food poisoning.

The military officers were stricken while attending a seminar, organized by the UN, on avoiding human-rights violations.
