Maryland County: Political Persecution Order of the Day?



April 4, 2016
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

Comrades and friends of incomparable revolutionary and political prowess, sons and daughters of Maryland and marginalized citizens, militants, cadres and intellectual exemplars, progressive students of our reputable William V. S. Tubman University, we bring you warm revolutionary greetings from the Maryland County Revolutionary Civil Society (MCRCS).

Based on our historical and traditional mandate to protect the palpable interests and welfares of tens and tens of thousands of our suffering citizens, we are disappointingly dismayed that Hon. Betsy Kuoh-Toe, superintendent of Maryland has embarked upon a disingenuous and unproductive journey to unjustifiably persecute citizens for their political affiliations at the detriment of our long and arduous struggle to build a newfound democracy with the help of The United Nations and our international partners after a 14-year generalized anarchy of violence.

We, leaders and members of MCRCS, categorically rebuke, reject, condemn and resist such upright violation of our unarguable and inalienable constitutional, democratic and universal human rights to choose any of our citizens as a candidate for the office of President of this Republic that was built on the sweat, tears and blood of our Forerunners! We will inexorably, relentlessly, unremittingly and endlessly, battle against such devilish and inhumane attitude, which has the inclination and propensity to destroy our long and arduous struggle for peace, democracy and the Rule of Law in Maryland, yea the Republic of Liberia.

Notice, on February 8 & 17, 2016 respectively, Madam Kuoh misused the name of President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf to intimidate, terrorize, persecute and commit Felonious Restraint and hands-in- gloves with GSA commit unlawful termination of my pro bono service to my country on grounds that I, T. Gbuo-Mle Bedell, who travelled to Liberia from the USA working pro bono for the past 8 ½ years, “badmouth” His Excellency Amb. Joseph Boakai, Vice President of Liberia and that by meeting with “Team Cummings of Liberia – TCL” representing Mr. Alex B. Cummings whom, we are told, may vie for the office of President, come 2017 Presidential Election, I “undermined” the Liberian government. I ask, what manner of woman can she be who lacks a true sense of history, competition (cornerstone of democracy), the Rule of Law, Good governance, that she will use President Sirleaf’s name to persecute citizens for their political affiliations?

We categorically condemn, without mixing words, from the roof of our tongues, this broad daylight violation of our human, constitutional and democratic rights. Madam Toe MUST discontinue marginalizing and persecuting citizens for political reasons! We ask men of good will and President Sirleaf to save our county and people the horror and agony of these violations!


I am T. Gbuo-Mle Bedell, volunteer worker, social justice advocate, working and speaking on the ground in Liberia and a victim of police brutality and political persecution
