CoP says they are “well on course” for December 30 Protest but, MoJ, aiming to “balance the rights of all citizens”, wants change of date, venueAmidst the decision by the Ministry of Justice (MOJ) to defer permit and protection for the December 30 protest, the Council of Patriots (CoP) says the protest remains well on course as planned. He continued: “We have made our case that we want to exercise our democratic right to protest beginning tomorrow, December 30, 2019. “Over the last several months, we have been mobilizing for a peaceful protest. On June 7, 2019, we organized and held a peaceful protest for the first time in the history of Liberia. It is still not clear what course of action the Ministry of Justice will take if the CoP’s protest continues as planned.
