Two Ugandan journalists who were arrested and detained in South Sudan at the weekend have been released but banned from entering the country.
Mr Justin Dralaze and Mr Hilary Ayesiga were arrested and detained at the National Security headquarters in Juba on grounds that they were filming key government and security facilities without authorisation.
According Mr Asan Kasingye, the Director of Interpol, the duo is scheduled to fly to Kampala Wednesday evening.
The government Tuesday ordered its embassy in South Sudan to secure the release of the two journalists.
The journalists who are attached to the China-based CCTV were reportedly working on a project in South Sudan.
South Sudan has remained under curfew after President Salva Kiir sacked his Vice President Riek Machar and the entire Cabinet.
