Monrovia – The Independent Council of Patriots (ICOP) has started campaigning in various communities in Monrovia to hold a “counter peaceful protest” against the Council of Patriots’ (COP) “Weah Step Down” protest slated for December 30, 2019. The ICOP states that the reason for a counter-protest against the COP is to “protect the peace of Liberia”. “This campaign is not intended to say to peacefully assemble to petition your government is bad but the COP protest for December 30 is unconstitutionally and that protest is not Democratic,” said Rufus Neufville, head of the ICOP. “So those that organizing protest to put government down on December 30, you will have to put us down first. We are not protecting individual but we are protecting the Democracy and stability of Liberia…,” he announced.
