@Delta I am unable to cancel my ticket online within the 24 hour timeline and I've been on hold on your customer service line for over 3.5 hours. I need to depart on another flight now and am concerned my refund window will lapse - can you please help?

Very concerned that my @Harvard classmate Peter Biar Ajak was arrested and detained in Juba by the National Security Service today. We call on the government to respect his rights and liberties and release him. #FreePeterBiar now!

I’ve just learned that the security services in South Sudan have arrested Dr. Peter Biar Ajak, a former @Kennedy_School student who’s working tirelessly to promote peace in his native country. Arrest clearly politically motivated #FREEPETERBIAR https://t.co/pOkjslPswC

[TutuFellows @TutuFellows]

@TutuFellows urge the safe and immediate release of Dr @AjakPeter. #FreePeterBiar @JulieGichuru @JanahNcube @edwin_macharia @UN @ONEinAfrica

A leading human rights activist from Southern Sudan, and my good friend Peter Biar Ajak @AjakPeter is being held captive by the intelligence agencies in Southern Sudan. No where should voices of dissent be silenced through force and intimidation. #FreePeterBiar

A msg from Sir Paul Collier: "I'm very troubled by the arrest of Peter Biar Ajak, our South Sudan Sr Advisor. Peter has been deeply involved in peace & reconciliation efforts in South Sudan. I ask that govt either files formal charges against him or releases him." #FreePeterBiar

[Amnesty Kenya @AmnestyKenya]

One of #SouthSudan leading rights activists @AjakPeter and regular @AMLiveNTV commentator was arrested by intelligence yesterday. It is now time for you and I to call for his immediate & unconditional release. #FreePeterBiar
