Liberia: Catholic Bishops Conference Condemns Rising Rape against Women, Children, But Frowns against Death Penalty


Report by Gerald C. Koinyeneh – [email protected]CABICOL is the assembly of the Catholic Bishops of Liberia who jointly exercise certain pastoral functions on behalf of the Christian Faithful of Liberia. Excerpt of CABICOL’s statement: “In as much as we strongly condemn this nefarious act, the death penalty cannot serve as a remedy to this problem. It termed the act of rape as a diabolical violence that should have no place in the Liberian society. Rape, the Church stated, is a flagrant violation of the victims and survivors’ inalienable rights that should be protected and defended at all times. Such uncivil and vulgar statement, the Church said, are not compatible with our societal and cultural values and norms.
