JUBA, South Sudan — Barely 24 hours before South Sudan officially became the world's newest nation on July 9, Onyoti Adigo sat in his office nursing a swollen lip and bloody gums.
The opposition politician and seven of his colleagues had just been released after two hours in the hands of South Sudanese military intelligence. Adigo lost a tooth in the beatings, while others in his entourage got sent to the hospital coughing up blood.
