As calls for the establishment of a War and Economic Crimes Court reverberates across the country, former warlords, who stand to face the brunt of charges, claim that they were granted amnesty as a precondition to the cessation of hostilities under the Accra Peace Agreement.
Supporting his argument, Cllr.
Brown, at a press conference in Monrovia on Thursday, March 7, accused former Grand Gedeh County Representative, George Boley, leader of the now defunct Liberia Peace Council , of killing his mother during the civil war in Liberia. Boley was a rebel leader who founded and led the predominantly Krahn LPC during the war.
Brown's accusation against Boley comes after some of the major rebel leaders threatened to instigate violence in the wake of increasing momentum toward the establishment of the War and Economic Crimes Court in Liberia to investigate and hold accountable perpetrators of war crimes. "We will not allow any more lawlessness in this country. I will not sit down here to allow them to kill armless people anymore," the INCHR chair noted.
