..Clarifies Limits Of Free SpeechBy Amos HarrisThe Supreme Court of Liberia has announced the adjudication and final judgment of sixty-three cases during its October 2025 Term. Chief Justice Gbeisay remarked that public profanity undermines these principles and fails to reflect the values of Liberian society. The Court found that Yeazean’s repeated social media attacks against the Supreme Court Bench were unsubstantiated and intended to bring the judiciary into disrepute. Chief Justice Gbeisay underscored that the power to punish contempt is a centuries-old principle essential to the justice system. In closing, Chief Justice Gbeisay urged the Executive and Legislative branches to adopt disciplinary measures against public officials who use vulgar language.
