Press Statement
I strongly condemn what appears to be the arbitrary arrest and politically motivated targeting of opposition leaders.
The peace and stability of our nation are of the highest importance. The continued practice of detaining political opponents—particularly on Friday evenings with the apparent intention of prolonging detention through the weekend—reflects a troubling and undemocratic pattern that undermines confidence in our legal and governance institutions.
Any allegations against public officials must be addressed through a transparent and independent judicial process, free of political interference or intimidation.
The Government of Liberia is admonished to conduct its affairs within the confines of the Constitution and to respect the fundamental rights and freedoms of all citizens, regardless of political affiliation. Our country’s democratic gains must be preserved through restraint, lawful conduct, and unwavering commitment to justice.
Telia J. Urey
Vice Chairman- Political Affairs, All Liberian Party.”
