In 2010, Garto Doe was shot in
Pleebo City, Maryland County at point-blank range by the notorious Emergency
Respond Unit commonly known as “ERU” – the murder machine of The Liberia
National Police.
In 2012, the same ERU beat Harrison
Geeply into bloodbath and locked him up at the Maximum Prison Compound in
Harper City, Maryland County. Geeply, a teenager, slowly bled to death. They
called in his poor father, Mr. Nyanti Geeply, to remove his son’s corpse. Mr.
Geeply refused on ground the Liberian government murdered his son. So they are
under obligation to bury him. Currently, Mr. Geeply had a stroke and no more
himself. Two loses: his son was murdered by the Police and now he is a stroke
victim and can do nothing for himself anymore.
These two murders have not
been investigated. NO JUDICIAL REVIEW! All of these deaths occurred on Chris
Massaquoi’s watch and orders.
This is all extrajudicial
killings without judicial review.
Anytime any one interferes
with the maximum growth potential of a people, that person is guilty of
violence. Christ Massaquoi is guilty of murder and violence against innocent
and armless civilians in Liberia.
In the same 2011, Wakla
Neufville, a teenager was beating into bloodbath for verbally insulting a
girlfriend of a member of the ERU. And this happened in Harper City. Right in
Middlesex. The girlfriend of the ERU called on her ERU boyfriend for help in a
verbal exchange. Prior to the ERU boyfriend coming to the scene, he called on
some of his ERU colleagues; together they got in the area of the verbal
exchange and physically brutalized Wakla Neufville, Jnr. into a bloody coma. People
watched the police brutality. But no one could help the armless kid being
brutalized by police. The police threatened that anyone who made any attempt to
help the kid would be shot to death. And they were well-armed with AK-47s and
pistols. So everybody just watched.
After brutalizing little
Wakla, they dragged and dumped him in a police pickup truck. The police dashed the
kid, like a beast, in front of the police Headquarters on Gregory Street and
drove away. An old lady passing by raised alarm. And the kid was rushed to the
J. J. Dossen Hospital where he remained for treatment for more than one week. When
he recovered, a complaint was filed to the then Superintendent J. Gble-Bo Brown.
Up to the moment we opine, nothing has been done for or on the kid’s complaint.
Indications are, at certain age as he grows from teenage to adulthood, he will
surely develop serious medical problems. By then, to whom will he run?
President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf will no more be in power. Chris Massaquoi might
escape the country for fear of retaliation from the common people for
terrorizing them. Who will help the poor kid in adulthood going through all the
complications?
In 2012, yours truly, was
severely beaten by the well-armed ERU in Pleebo City into a bloodbath. I was
armless and defenseless. I was physically and psychologically tortured. I was
financially robbed. They dumped me in a police pickup truck like a beast. They
tear gas me. They threw me in jail for no apparent reason for 24 hours. I bled
in jail and suffered from the tear gas aftermath. As a consequential result of
the flogging, I spent four days at the J. J. Dossen Hospital in Harper City for
medical treatment, Because of the severity of the medical problems deriving
from the flogging, I was airlifted by The UNMIL helicopter to Monrovia for a referral
at the J. K. Memorial Hospital for further medical treatment. A complaint was
filed. But up to the moment we opine, the police department, Ministry of
Justice and the Liberian government launched a campaign of silence.
ERU is the murder machine of the Liberia National Police
(LNP) run by Christopher Massaquoi who was accused of murdering one of his body
guards. From what we know, Chris Massaquoi ordered his body to shoot and kill
and innocent and armless citizen. When the body guard refused Christ’s orders,
he in return was ordered shot by another body guard of Chris Massaquoi. This is
unconfirmed. But a Legislator raised the issue and Christ threatened to
litigate.
Hanging around Chris Massaquoi’s neck are so many deaths
of many innocent, defenseless and armless civilians in Liberia, particularly,
Maryland County.
While I was on the radio speaking on Chris Massaquoi’s
terrorist acts, citizens and residents of Monrovia and part adjacent called in
reporting their stories. Some of them are now locked in their beds because they
have been crippled, limb broken off and in serious medical pain due to police
brutality.
They say, when you hear one thing, you dismiss it;
When you hear it the second time, you dismiss it again;
When you hear the same thing the third time, it should
draw your attention;
When you hear the same news the fourth time, you need to
act. And there’s where it’s all at!
Too many deaths by the police death squad continue to
hang around Christ Massaquoi’s neck.
Not one time;
Not two times;
Not three times. But four times.
Someone needs to send this man to The Hague for justice.
If Taylor can go to The Hague, so is any big tycoon like Chris Massaquoi. He’s
not an exemption?
We are calling on The Human Rights Watch of US to save
the lives of the rest of us who have not
met the bullets and secret killing yet!
Chris MUST account the extrajudicial killings and police
brutality, starting with Maryland County!
Being a good friend of President Sirleaf is no excuse for
Chris Massaquoi to terrorize murder and incarcerate innocent and armless
civilians.
All of the extrajudicial murders in Liberia, particularly
in Maryland County, are done on the orders and on the watch of Police Director Chris
Massaquoi of the Republic of Liberia.
Is Christ Massaquoi trying to be the next Hitler police
director in Liberia or the police director of Augusto Pinochet of Chile?
Whatever the answer is, we know for sure Chris Massaquoi
is a TERRORIST! He MUST be TRIED in a competent court of jurisdiction! Or else,
we will practice SELF-DEFENSE!
It is a RIGHT not a PREVILLGE!
Chris enjoys the favor of President Sirleaf for obvious
reasons. But come the Judgment Day of history, he surely will have to account
for his deeds and actions in this Government for his terrorist activities.
Posterity will be there!
We will tip our hats at the graves of those of our dear
departed youths, elderly, men and women who were murdered by Chris Massaquoi
and his Liberian Gestapo police, as we go by the cemetery. And we will continue
to cry out for justice and freedom to Christendom and Islam and peace-loving
peoples, the world over, to bring these terrorists like Christ Massaquoi and
Christiana Tah to Justice one day!
A terrorist is a person who terrorizes or frightens
others. Chris Massaquoi is a hardcore TERRORIST! He terrorizes, kills, flogs,
incarcerates and frightens armless, defenseless and innocent citizens and
others.
When will Christ Massaquoi be brought to justice?!
We don’t know for now! He has access to power right now!
He’s a good friend of President Sirleaf!
But we leave the answer to Father Time! It will tell!
Confidently, we know such a day will come!
And not in the too distant future!
I am Thomas G. Bedell speaking and working on the ground
in Liberia and police brutality victim.
