The protest saw the petitioning of the Liberian government and the international community against maltreatment of journalists in the country. Kadi, who is still with a wound right on top of his left eye, is the latest victim of state security operatives’ unscrupulous conduct. His ordeal brings to 11 the number of journalists who have been brutalized and or humiliated by state security officers while performing reportorial duties. When he opted to intervene, the unidentified police officer hit him on his head. Journalist Kadi is amongst several other journalists who have been victim of brutality this year.
