Monrovia, Liberia – The Liberia National Police (LNP) has arrested three individuals in connection with a shocking viral video showing a young man tied up and brutally assaulted by a group of people in what authorities describe as an act of mob violence and vigilante justice.

In a statement issued Thursday, the LNP strongly condemned the incident, calling it “inhumane, unlawful, and a serious violation of the victim’s rights and dignity.”

The disturbing footage, which has been widely circulated across social media platforms, sparked public outrage and renewed concerns over increasing acts of mob justice in parts of the country.

Police authorities confirmed that the three suspects are currently undergoing investigation, while security forces intensify efforts to identify and apprehend additional individuals believed to have participated in or facilitated the attack.

“The Liberia National Police assures the public that all persons found responsible will be dealt with in accordance with the law,” the statement said.

The LNP emphasized that no citizen or group has the legal authority to assault, torture, humiliate, or punish another person outside the framework of the justice system.

“Mob violence and vigilante justice undermine the rule of law, place lives at risk, and interfere with the lawful administration of justice,” the Police noted, warning that such actions remain criminal offenses under Liberian law.

Authorities also disclosed that measures are being taken to ensure the safety, protection, and welfare of the victim as investigations continue.

The Police used the occasion to urge Liberians to report suspected criminal activities to law enforcement rather than taking matters into their own hands.

The LNP further appealed to members of the public to cooperate with ongoing investigations by providing credible information that could lead to the arrest of other suspects connected to the incident.

Reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance on vigilante violence and all forms of extrajudicial punishment, the Liberia National Police warned that anyone found encouraging or participating in such unlawful acts would face the full weight of the law.

Meanwhile, authorities stressed that the suspects remain presumed innocent until proven guilty by a court of competent jurisdiction.

The Liberia National Police says it remains committed to protecting the rights, dignity, and safety of all citizens while ensuring justice is administered through lawful and accountable processes.

Margibi Political Figure Mark Nuah Criticizes Rep. Ivar Jones’ Proposed Human Rights Bill

By: John Kamara Taylor

MONROVIA, LIBERIA – Prominent Margibi County political figure, Mark Testerfent Nuah, has strongly criticized the proposed bill introduced by District #2 Representative Hon. Ivar K. Jones seeking to protect Liberian citizens against torture, cruel and degrading punishment, and abuses of human dignity.

Nuah, who currently serves as a staffer to Senator Nathaniel McGill and previously worked as a trusted staffer to former Margibi County Senator Tornola, described the proposed legislation as a misplaced priority at a time when Liberians are struggling with severe economic hardship, unemployment, poor infrastructure, and widening social inequality.

In a sharply worded statement released Thursday, on his official page, Nuah argued that the proposed legislation does not represent the urgent legislative direction needed in Liberia today.

According to Nuah, Liberia’s Constitution already provides sufficient legal protections against torture and inhumane treatment through several provisions, including Articles 1, 11, 15, 20(a), 21(e), and 21(f).

“While reinforcing human rights protections remains important, the pressing national demand today is not the duplication of already existing constitutional protections,” Nuah stated.

“What Liberians desperately need are transformative laws that directly address the economic realities confronting ordinary citizens.”

The Margibi political figure emphasized that lawmakers should prioritize legislation aimed at economic growth, agricultural transformation, industrial development, youth empowerment, labor protection, and improved public service delivery.

“Our country needs bold legislative initiatives capable of addressing the structural issues affecting the survival and future of the Liberian people,” he added.

Nuah also criticized what he described as misplaced priorities among some lawmakers who travel abroad without returning with meaningful development-driven ideas capable of improving the lives of their constituents.

“The essence of traveling across the world as a lawmaker should not merely be to experience beautiful hotels, comfortable flights, and foreign cuisines,” he asserted. “International exposure is intended to broaden one’s understanding of governance, development, industrialization, and people-centered leadership.”

Directing his criticism specifically at Representative Jones, Nuah argued that, as a lawmaker representing one of Liberia’s major labor belts, his legislative attention should instead focus on labor exploitation, unemployment, economic exclusion, and the daily struggles faced by residents of the district.

“The people expect strategic leadership capable of elevating them from hardship into sustained economic opportunities,” Nuah declared.

He further lamented what he described as a decline in visionary leadership among some younger politicians who previously inspired hope among the youth population of the district.

“It is unfortunate that many young people reposed huge confidence in a generation of leadership that once appeared promising, only to witness a gradual decline in the courage and vision required to confront the real issues affecting our district, county, and country,” he noted.

Nuah concluded by warning that the proposed bill may raise concerns about whether the current leadership fully understands the economic and structural challenges confronting Liberians today.

“If care is not taken, that bill may clearly elongate the limit of your leadership usefulness in that district,” he cautioned.
Representative Ivar K. Jones has not yet publicly responded to Nuah’s criticism.
Shalom!!

The Liberian Women Empowerment Network (LIWEN) on Thursday May 28 joined the global community in celebrating the 2026 World Menstrual Hygiene Day with students from several schools in Mount Barclay, under the international and national theme, “Together for a .”

The event brought together students, educators, and LIWEN staff in an effort to raise awareness about menstrual health and promote dignity, inclusion, and equal opportunities for girls and young women.

During the engagement, LIWEN staff members educated students on the significance of Menstrual Hygiene Day and the importance of maintaining proper menstrual hygiene practices.

Discussions also focused on breaking the silence and stigma surrounding menstruation, correcting widespread misinformation, and encouraging open conversations that support the health and well-being of adolescent girls.

Speaking during the program, the Secretary General of LIWEN Madam Edith Z.M. Zoegar emphasized that menstrual health is not only a health issue but also a matter of human rights, education, and gender equality.

She noted that many girls continue to face challenges due to limited access to menstrual hygiene information and products, often affecting their confidence and school attendance.

The organization reaffirmed its commitment to advocating for a society where menstruation is treated with dignity and where girls can freely access the knowledge and support they need without discrimination or shame.

LIWEN also expressed gratitude to its partners, including ActionAid Liberia, the Embassy of Sweden in Monrovia, and the Sweden Government, for their continued support toward advancing women’s empowerment and menstrual health awareness in Liberia.

According to the organization, the initiative was carried out under its “Just and Equal Community Project,” a program aimed at promoting gender equality, community inclusion, and the empowerment of women and girls across Liberia.

As the world commemorates Menstrual Hygiene Day, LIWEN’s engagement in Mount Barclay serves as a reminder of the need for collective action to create a safer, healthier, and more supportive environment for girls and women everywhere.

Commerce Minister Magdalene Dagoseh Leads Joint Crackdown on Reserved Businesses in Kakata

KAKATA, Margibi County — Liberia’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, Magdalene Ellen Dagoseh, has led a major joint institutional enforcement exercise in Kakata, Margibi County, aimed at strengthening compliance with the reserved business provisions of the Liberia Investment Act of 2010.

The operation, conducted in collaboration with the Ministry of Labour and the Ministry of Justice, brought together government inspectors and enforcement officers to assess businesses operating within sectors exclusively reserved for Liberian citizens under the country’s investment laws.

The initiative forms part of the government’s broader effort to protect Liberian-owned businesses, promote fair competition, and ensure that foreign nationals operate within the legal framework established by the Investment Act.

During the inspection exercise across Kakata, officials visited several business establishments to verify business registration documents, work permits, labor compliance, and ownership structures.

Authorities focused particularly on businesses suspected of operating in sectors reserved exclusively for Liberians.

Speaking during the exercise, Minister Dagoseh reaffirmed the government’s commitment to enforcing the law and safeguarding economic opportunities for Liberian entrepreneurs.

“The reserved business policy was established to empower Liberians economically and create opportunities for local businesses to grow and thrive,” Minister Dagoseh stated. “We remain committed to ensuring full compliance with the laws governing commerce and investment in Liberia.”

Under the Liberia Investment Act of 2010, several business activities are reserved exclusively for Liberian citizens, including small-scale retail trade, operation of gas stations, tire repair shops, block-making businesses, and the sale of certain commodities.

The law was enacted to strengthen local participation in the national economy and encourage sustainable economic empowerment for Liberians.

Officials from the Ministry of Labour also used the occasion to assess labor conditions and verify the legal status of employees working within inspected businesses, while representatives of the Ministry of Justice emphasized that violators could face legal actions, fines, or possible closure of operations if found in breach of the law.

The joint enforcement exercise received mixed reactions from local business owners in Kakata.

While many Liberian entrepreneurs welcomed the government’s intervention, describing it as a necessary step toward protecting local businesses, others called for increased awareness and engagement to ensure that all operators fully understand the requirements of the Investment Act.

Authorities say the exercise in Margibi County is part of an ongoing nationwide enforcement campaign intended to strengthen regulatory oversight and improve compliance within Liberia’s commercial sector.

The government has meanwhile urged all business operators to regularize their activities and comply with the country’s commerce, labor, and investment regulations to avoid sanctions.

Liberia Moves to Tighten Human Rights Protections as Rep. Ivar Jones Pushes Anti-Torture Bill

By: John Kamara Taylor
+231888050058/ [email protected]

The Plenary of the House of Representatives has taken a major step toward strengthening Liberia’s human rights protections by mandating its Joint Committees on Judiciary and Human Rights to review a landmark bill aimed at preventing torture and other forms of inhumane treatment across the country.

The decision was reached Tuesday during the 5th Day Sitting of the 2nd Quarter of the 3rd Session, following a formal communication from Margibi County District #2 Representative, Hon. Ivar K. Jones.

The proposed legislation, titled “An Act to Amend the Act Establishing the Independent National Commission on Human Rights (INCHR) and to Establish a Preventive Mechanism Against Torture, Other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment or Punishment within the Republic of Liberia,” seeks to reinforce the country’s commitment to protecting fundamental human rights and ensuring accountability for abuses.

In his communication to Plenary, Representative Jones emphasized the urgent need for stronger legal safeguards against torture and degrading treatment, while calling for Liberia’s full compliance with international human rights obligations.

According to Rep. Jones, the bill aligns with the Optional Protocol to the Convention Against Torture and Other Cruel, Inhumane or Degrading Treatment or Punishment, adopted by the United Nations General Assembly on December 18, 2002, under Resolution A/RES/57/199. Liberia officially signed the protocol on September 22, 2004.

The Margibi lawmaker also referenced Article 21(e) of Liberia’s 1986 Constitution, which explicitly prohibits torture and all forms of cruel or degrading treatment against individuals who are arrested, detained, or held in confinement.

The constitutional provision further mandates the Legislature to criminalize such acts and impose penalties on public officials found guilty of violations.

If enacted, the bill would amend the existing law establishing the Independent National Commission on Human Rights (INCHR) and create a national preventive mechanism designed to monitor detention facilities, strengthen oversight, and ensure adherence to internationally recognized human rights standards.

Following brief deliberations, Plenary instructed the Joint Committee on Judiciary and Human Rights to conduct a comprehensive review of the draft legislation and submit its findings and recommendations within two weeks.

The move is being viewed as a significant legislative effort to bolster Liberia’s human rights framework and enhance protections against torture and abuse within state institutions.

The Chief Executive Officer of the Jomah Samuel Cares Foundation, Ambassador Jomah B. Samuel, has been appointed as the new Global Ambassador for Woods System of Care and its Mollie Woods Hare Global Center of Excellence, a major international initiative dedicated to advancing healthcare, education, research, and support services for individuals with intellectual disabilities, autism, neurodivergence, and mental health conditions.

The appointment, announced on May 20, 2026, in Pennsylvania USA, has been widely welcomed in Liberia, particularly in Margibi County, where Ambassador Samuel is regarded as one of the county’s rising humanitarian and development voices.

A son of Margibi County, Ambassador Samuel has over the years built a reputation for championing initiatives aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable and underserved communities through the work of the Jomah B. Samuel Cares Foundation.

Residents of Margibi Electoral District #1 continue to benefit from the foundation’s interventions in agriculture, education, Health, vocational empowerment, humanitarian assistance, and youth development.

The foundation has implemented several agricultural empowerment initiatives across towns and villages in District #1, including the donation of farming tools, seeds, and technical training programs for local farmers.

The initiative was launched to strengthen food security and improve livelihoods among rural communities in Margibi County.

Through its agricultural projects, the foundation has supported farming activities in communities including Kaifa Town, Camp-C, Division #4, Johnny Cooper Town, Doorbor Town, and Zoewein Town, while also promoting sustainable agriculture and skills development among local farmers.

Beyond agriculture, the organization has also invested heavily in women and youth empowerment programs.

In 2022, the foundation launched a vocational training initiative for 100 young women and girls in Margibi District #1, providing free training opportunities in catering and soap-making to help beneficiaries acquire employable skills and improve their economic independence.

The foundation’s humanitarian work has further extended to orphanages, schools, and vulnerable groups across Margibi County. Over the years, the organization has donated rice, educational materials, COVID-19 preventive supplies, and financial support to schools, orphanages, women’s groups, and the School of the Blind in Duahzon, Lower Margibi County.

The latest international appointment of Ambassador Samuel is being viewed by many residents as a major opportunity not only for Margibi County but for Liberia as a whole.

Community members believe the new role could help strengthen international partnerships, create opportunities for Liberians, and increase global attention on issues affecting vulnerable populations in the country.

As Global Ambassador for the Mollie Woods Hare Global Center of Excellence, Ambassador Samuel will lead efforts to expand the institution’s global visibility and partnerships by engaging governments, universities, healthcare institutions, NGOs, and international organizations worldwide.

His responsibilities also include promoting advocacy for equitable healthcare, strengthening research and knowledge sharing, mobilizing resources, and supporting initiatives aimed at reducing healthcare disparities globally.

In addition to the ambassadorial role, Ambassador Samuel also heads the International Friends and Family Workers Program, supporting the implementation of its Employment-Based (EB-3) Green Card recruitment initiative, which seeks to recruit qualified individuals from around the world to work within the Woods System of Care network.

Speaking following the announcement, Ambassador Samuel described the appointment as both an honor and a responsibility.

“I am truly honored and grateful for this opportunity to serve as Global Ambassador for the Mollie Woods Hare Global Center of Excellence.

This appointment represents hope, inclusion, and the opportunity to advance equitable healthcare and support services for individuals and families worldwide.

I thank Woods System of Care for trusting me with this important responsibility. God is good, and His timing is always right.”

The appointment marks another significant milestone for the Jomah Samuel Cares Foundation and reflects the growing international recognition of Liberian leadership in humanitarian service, healthcare advocacy, and community development.

Rep. Briggs-Mensah Labels Musa Bility’s CMC a “Criminal Enterprise” Amid Escalating Political Tensions

By: John Kamara Taylor
+231888050058/ [email protected]

Political tensions intensified this week after Representative Briggs-Mensah launched a blistering attack against fellow lawmaker Musa Bility, describing the Congress for Democratic Change-aligned CMC as a “criminal organization being managed by criminals.”

Speaking during a heated public engagement, Rep. Briggs-Mensah accused the CMC of undermining democratic values and fueling instability through what she characterized as reckless political conduct and intimidation tactics.

Her remarks have since sparked widespread debate across Liberia’s political landscape.

“The CMC has lost its moral standing,” Briggs-Mensah declared. “What we are seeing today is not political leadership, but a criminal structure being managed by criminals.”

The lawmaker, who has increasingly positioned herself as a vocal critic of opposition-aligned political movements, alleged that members of the CMC have repeatedly engaged in activities that threaten public order and weaken confidence in governance.

However, she did not immediately provide specific evidence to substantiate the accusations.

Supporters of Musa Bility swiftly condemned the statement, calling it inflammatory, irresponsible, and dangerous for Liberia’s fragile political environment.

Several political observers warned that such rhetoric could further deepen divisions at a time when national unity and constructive dialogue remain critical.

Neither Musa Bility nor official representatives of the CMC had issued a formal response as of press time.
