He said he was with six other young men who were captured by Ulimo rebels, separated from other civilians and accused of having links with rival rebel faction the National Patriotic Front of Liberia headed by Charles Taylor. The victim’s testimony dominated day nine of Kamara’s appeal of his 2022 conviction here for 11 counts including murders of civilians, rape, torture, cannibalism and forced labour.
On Friday, the witness who said he was forced to become a fighter testified that Mr Kosiah gave the order that he be dragged. He said that Mr Kamara ranked below Mr Kosiah among the leaders. “Co-Dayku” who was in charge in Lofa, was the highest of the three he said. “Beating civilians when they were carrying those looted things to the border was a normal thing, but for me because I never wanted to be beaten I use to walk fast..fast,” the witness said.
In response, the victim said that the discrepancies came because of his own limited ability to speak clear English and an incorrect interpretation of his words. The lawyer for civil parties has described the discrepancies as evidence that the witnesses have not been coached and are struggling to clearly remember precise details of events that happened 30 years ago.
