Freeman made the appeal yesterday during a special consultative meeting that brought together women’s groups, officials of the Independent National Human Rights Commission (INHRC), chiefs from the Traditional Council of Liberia, representatives of the Crusaders for Peace, the National Imam Council of Liberia and representatives of political parties and civil society organizations. Yesterday’s meeting was intended to form a group or union that would engage the various contending parties whose legal actions have now kept the runoff election in limbo. He said while the political impasse continues, prices of basic commodities have escalated, thereby putting businesses in dire straits. As a result, Freeman said “business people will continue to increase prices in the absence of new commodities on the market. The people will suffer to the extent of what the impact would be at a certain point.
