On Monday, March 7, 2011, three kids that were arrested in Harper City during a peaceful protest demonstration. The Liberia National Police top them to jail. They spent four days in jail.
These kids are heroes. They deliberately and courageously overcome obstacles. And that was for the benefit of their people (Kudemoweh & Numoweh) without regard to personal consequences. They left prison and have conquered obstacles. They have the qualifying credentials of heroes and a measure of their true leadership. They are Heroes of Peace, without regard to personal consequences. They embraced obstacles as opportunities for growth; utilize fear as a means to show courage; protect and maintain the dignity of their adversaries; crusade compassionately for those unable to speak for themselves, and celebrate diversity for the enrichment of their people.
Messrs. Himmie Morais, Anthony Himmie Dison and Joseph Hodge make us to know the significance of heroes in our lives. They make us realize we need inspirational heroes as role models for our lives. Many of today's heroes are often sports figures, celebrities, and rock stars whose lives are laced with controversy as well as frequent appearances in our over-crowed court rooms. Where can we find exemplary heroes with proven values demonstrating respect for their fellow humans? How can we learn conflict resolution practices ending in peaceful solutions with dignity and respect being preserved for all? When will we understand and value a work ethic showing the rewards for diligence and quality? How long before forgiveness presides over revenge? This will lead to the acceptance of diversity and help extinguish the embers of discrimination. These three brothers are the answer to the many unanswered questions.
These Heroes of ours will appear before the Pleebo Magisterial Court in the city of Pleebo to answer questions to their heroism.
The three Heroes were released on Bond on Thursday, March 3, 2011 after four days of hard prison time.
It is the Liberia National Police that filed charges against them. And so the Police that beat them up has the “Burden of Proof” that they (Heroes) did anything wrong except for being Heroes of their downtrodden people.
For the case, Defense lawyers are gearing up to defend the Heroes.
Traditional Chiefs, students, market women, yanna boys, shoe shine boys, social justice advocates and human rights groups are expected to attend.
Messrs. Himmie Morais, Anthony Himmie Dixon and Joseph Hodge are ready to tell their stories. They will tell us what happened to them while in prison.
According to these Heroes the Police violated their fundamental human and constitutional rights.
Under duress they were forced to make statements. They intend to tell the whole truth and nothing but the truth.
