Inspector General Patrick Sudue said the INHCR was biased in its report on the police action on Jan. 6Monrovia – The Liberia National Police Inspector General has accused the Independent National Human Rights Commission of “bias” and embarking on “a smear campaign” against the police and the government. “If you have a human rights commission in your country that is reporting negatively about the police, you think what the international human rights commission will do,” Sudue added when asked about the ramifications of “negative and bias” reports against the police. “There is not one person that the human rights commission pointed to say ‘this is one of the victims that excessive force was used against’. He said the INHRC rejected the medical report alleging that the medical report was “compromised by the doctor in favor of the police”. Colley: “These inconsistencies in the Independent National Human rights approach to the human rights issues involving the Liberia National Police as indicated surmise to us that the Commission is not actually independent but rather biased perhaps with the intent to win international recognition by tarnishing the image of the Police.
