In Liberia, people hold things against you for
either good or bad reasons. I have been quizzed on the case of H. Dan Morais et
al.
They were accused of
ritualistic killings of a Rocktown couple and a pregnant woman from Blayjay.
And so dey were imprisoned. Whether or not they committed the crime, i have no
way of knowing. But under our Criminal law, an accused has a right to Due
Process. And dis was denied them.
As a citizen, God-fearing man
and a social justice advocate, I took issue with Liberian government.
Thru peaceful protest
demonstrations and defiance campaigns, legal social movement activities, we set
them free.
Some say what I did was
"wrong." They wanted them to rot in prison.
Well, I am here to say, I did
what I had to do in the name of Justice!
If H. Dan Morias et al
committed the crime they were accused of, as a spiritual man; I believe God
will find them out. For God is a Just God!
If I were equipped and mature
as I am today, I would have taken the case of 1979 as I did 2010!
I am T. Gbuo-Mle Bedell, a
social justice advocate, working and speaking on the ground in Liberia and a
victim of police brutality
