Monrovia - The Association of Female Lawyers of Liberia (AFELL) says amending the rape law is not in the interest of victims. Vivian Neal said AFELL wasn’t consulted prior to the amendment something she said was done to affect rape victims and survivors. The AFELL president said she expected the senate to add the prosecutorial budget that will empower them to have rape kits and also have fast tracked rape courts. Neal disclosed that the rape law was bailable but not in totality as it is now since the amendment was done. As a second degree felony rape is bailable.
