Washington, D.C. – Campaigner for Change International Condemns the Liberian National Police Use of Disproportionate Force Against Peaceful Protesters; Calls on International Justice Groups to Increase Monitoring of the Human and Political Rights Situation in Liberia. Campaigner for Change International condemns the Liberian National Police for the use of tear gas and water cannon containing boiling water on peaceful protestors in Liberia. The Police action was a reckless attack on civil liberty, authorized directly by President Weah. On June 6, 2019, President Weah publicly vowed that any Liberian who “insults” him will never walk in the streets freely. This new network will begin series of legal and social awareness protection programs for Liberian women and girls.
