MONROVIA–A group under the bender” African Youth Peer Review Committee” is calling on the Liberian Legislature to support all effort for the establishment of War Crime Court in Liberia.
The African youth call comes just few days after two members of the Liberian Legislature engaged in a war of world on issues relating to 14 year war in Liberia that damaged lives and properties.
The youth group said they see such unfolding between the two members of the Legislature as unfortunate and is calling on members of that body to unanimously support the call for War Crime Court as it has become evident by the action of Representative Seboe that victims of the war are still yearning for justice.
AYPRC wants President George Weah to exercise political will by establishing the War Crimes Court in Liberia since indeed he has once been in the vanguard of such advocacy twelve years ago.
“We believe the only way victims of the war can be extremely satisfy and mentally stable is when retributive justice is applied to perpetrators of the civil crisis” a release signed by Jeddlee Stephens- Kinnii, national Coordinator of the group said.
It went on to say, “AYPRC is meanwhile urging other local and international civil society organizations to continuously trumpet the calls for Wars Crimes Court Establishment in Liberia as it is the best way to give justice to those who lost their lives during the country’s arm-conflict eighteen (18) years ago.”
Recently, two members of the House of Representatives in persons of Dixon Wlawlee Seboe of Montserrado County and George E. S. Boley of Grand Gedeh County were at each other throats accusing and justifying their actions during the war years.
It was on Thursday, March 26, 2021, during the House of Representatives plenary sitting, Representative Dixon Wlawlee Seboe openly confronted his colleague, Representative. George E. S. Boley of Grand Gedeh County for allegedly killing members of his family during Liberia’s bloody civil war. Representative Seboe while in session in an emotional tone accused his colleague, Representative Boley by saying, “This man killed my family members; He needs to face the war crimes Court.”
His statement was responded to by the Grand Gedeh County lawmaker wherein her referred to his colleague as a “Pathological liar,” denying all of the accusations levied against him, Representative Boley and others who were shortlisted in the 2012 Truth and Reconciliation Commission (TRC) Report as one of the individuals whose warring faction –the Liberia Peace Council (LPC) committed heinous crimes and crimes against humanity.
