The Ministry of Justice had said any protest today would be considered illegitimate and culprits would be held liable. The Ministry had opted that the protest which was originally scheduled for December 30, 2019 be held on January 4, 2020. However, the organizers of the protest refused the date, arguing that the Constitution guarantees the right of citizens to assemble peacefully at any time. Police in Monrovia has instituted unusual security protocols, restricting the movement of vehicles and people on large numbers. Vehicles are also not being allowed to use to pass in front of the Capitol Building, except for authorized vehicles.
